I got the flu last week, and it kicked me out of commission in a serious way. Besides setting me back at work (I was out for two days) it also means that i wasn't able to post again this past weekend like I'd hoped.
I was really struck by the comments that people left after the last post, especially by the huge and wide variety of systems that people have put together. But it was also intriguing that people shared this nagging sense of something not quite being right, that despite our best of intentions, we are all still having a hard time keeping on top of things. seems like most of us know that we should be better organized, but just cobble together a loose way of doing things as opposed to taking the time to find something that really works.
I am going to post the David Allen Workflow Chart as soon as I can figure out how - you can't updload PDFs to blogger, and I don't have my own server to post it on.
For those who are really interested, you can download all the free charts and documents from davidco.com directly. Because I only want the best for you, here is a link for a big zip file with everything you can get for free, ya cheapskates. it'll work for the next 7 days, and i'm happy to email it to anyone who wants as well.

the thought that popped into my head when reading this is that, as a type A very organized person who loves making lists more than she'll admit, i also often feel super disorganized and overwhelmed (at least when in new york). and one thing that i haven't figured out yet is how to separate all that i need to keep organized for work, and all that i need to keep organized for me: maybe this is possible if you have a 9-5 job, but when your office is your car, your cell phone, and your job can follow you home every single night, how do you stay organized in both your job and your life, but still keep them separate? i just carry around a ridiculous amount of notebooks. also when making lists i make boxes next to everything i have to do so that i get the satisfaction of checking it off. :):) and lots and lots of coffee.
