J'ai mentionné que je suis GTD addict sur ce site avant ( My GTDImplementation , Beginner’s GTDGuide , Mind Like Water ),but I’d like to talk about why it’s a good tool for achieving your goals.
Now,if you’re trying to achieve goals,you fairen’t avoir besoin deto implement GTD… many have fairene just fine without it,of course. But every advantage that you can get will help,and GTDis just one tool that can help give you an advantage.
Voici comment:
- GTDbreaks your goals fairewn to the next-action level. Many people have big goals,but they fairen’t take it to the action level. GTDmandates that you select a next action for each project (and I consider each goal a project; although sub-goals could also be projects). This makes it beaucoupplus probable que vous allez réellement faire quelque chose à vos objectifs.
- GTDhelps you track your goals effectively. While you are not required to list your goals to start out GTD,it is encouraged once you get past the “runway” level and start looking at more elevated levels of life. But,in my case,I’d already started setting my goals,so they fit nicely in the GTDsystem as projects. And,if you’re faireing GTDright,with a weekly review,then you review your projects — and thus your goals — on a weekly basis,and ensure that there’s a next action for each goal in one of your context action lists.
- GTDhelps you put your goal next actions in the proper context. There are some goal actions that you can only take in a certain place — say,at home,or at work,or on the road. Ifvotre objectif des actions are all on one list,or all together with all the other stuff you have to faire on a Master List,then you’ll have to constantly evaluate whether you can actually faire each action,all the time. GTDsorts this out — only the actions you can faire at work are on your @work context list,etc. It simplifies things and makes it more likely that you’ll actually get the stuff fairene.
- GTDclears up time for you to fairevotre objectif des actions. OK,this is not a guarantee. Doing GTDfaireesn’t ensure that you’ll actually get stuff fairene … but it fairees make it more likely,once you begin to master the system (and not continually tweak it). And it can help you clear away the smaller things so that when you want to work onvotre objectif des actions,you have the time.
- GTDlets you focus on your goals. One of the problems in our daily lives is that we’re distracted by all the things we have to faire — not just the stuff we’re actually faireing,but even the stuff we’re not faireing. GTDhelps you clear away the distractions,putting them in a trusted system,so that you can clear your head to focus on what it is you really want or avoir besoin deto faire (admittedly,even with GTD,this is not easily accomplished). If that happens to bevotre objectif des actions,then you can really focus on them. And focus is what really makes goals happen (and anything else for that matter).
Let me just conclude by saying that GTDis no magic wand that will make your goals come true. No such thing exists,of course. GTDis just a tool,but it is a very useful tool,and I highly recommend it for anyone trying to make dreams a reality.
