STEP 3: SET A TIMER
OUTSIDE (PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)
Getting to the top of the colorful list isn’t easy, but a good start is just thinking happy thoughts.
The GTD process can help you tame the crazy-busy dragon of modern life by starting from the beginning and understanding what is the cause of the dragon. Once you figure out where to start, you can begin the steps of erasing the issues. Just work through what needs to be done until the idea of the dragon is gone.
I thought the first 30 seconds of the video were very interesting. He simply explained the steps that should be easy and well known. The begging on the GTD process starts at the red at the bottom of the colorful picture. As you reach goals, you move up until everything is complete at the purple on top.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE – Literally, read the article and go for another walk 🙂

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I learned the importance of taking a break to just breathe. I so often will sit doing homework for extended periods of time forgetting to eat or drink water. The author of the story really emphasized setting timers to get things done but to also still take care of yourself.
- I have solved the problem of when is the right time for me to work. I know I’m a morning person, but I find myself getting distracted and working at night instead. I know I need to make sure I do important work in the morning.
