GTD or "Getting Things Done"

The information that Allen provides is useful in many aspects of life. From work to your normal home life, the different steps from having a set in stone workflow aspect to the different level of focus can impact our lives in many ways.

I've always walked around with set of instructions in my mind that I need to do. Most people do also have these set instructions. I'm sure most of us have a morning routine. Wake up, take a shower, brush our teeth, eat breakfast and then it diversifies from there. This is in our mind of things needed to be done for us to feel good when going to work or for doing hobbies.

We can use these aspects in our organizational skills at work.

I've gone online and looked over google's calendar system. From reading Allen's tickler file system I've gone ahead and implemented that aspect into my life. I've had trouble keeping a notebook planner because it get's pushed to the side when I do any work or when I'd get home.

With it being online I can access it easier and be more redundant with my information. I can always have the notebook planner with the same information in it in case the internet goes down. It's what I've been needing to keep me from forgetting the different tasks needed to be done throughout the month.

I can use all these steps for my college classes also and will definitely be using the calendar to keep myself organized at all times.

I'm really grateful into reading the system as it has put alot of my flaws in the open (organization) and made it simply easy to fix.
