After a hellish couple of weeks in the office, battling the every increase number of projects arriving on my desk, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  However, these past couple of weeks have taught me that with the increasing number of experiments and software development projects, the time has come for me to seriously tweak how I’m working so that I can still keep on top of all the work.
For the past year I’ve been following several blogs that refer to this state as “getting things done” or commonly referred to as “GTD”.  With the wealth of knowledge that I’ve gained from reading these articles and my own personal experience with a number of the different techniques, I decided that today was going to be the first day where I achieve that mythical state of GTD!  Armed with my dairy of meetings and my “todo” list that stated which jobs where going to be completed, I attacked the workload.  Alas today was not going to be the first day that I achieved that state of GTD.  I fell short of this goal by not completing two of the tasks that I set myself.  Sure there are many reasons/excuses that I could used to explain them, but personally you either achieve it or you don’t, and today boys and girls I didn’t.  However, tomorrow is new day and I will achieve GTD!
