Getting Things Done

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of Getting Things Done by David Allen. I’m really enjoying it.

The first, best take-away I have from it is this: time management is not just about trying to be more productive. Yes, there’s an element of that. But it is also about taking the stress off of your life and getting your brain clear so that it can focus. Understanding that has made this whole concept of learning how to better get things done more attractive.

I am not all the way through the book yet, but already I can tell you that I’d love for folks to take a look at this. It is starting to show dividends in my life already.

It’s been a while…

Since I last wrote. I have been going through some transitions in my personal counseling experience. My awesome counselor had to go to internship so I got shuffled around a bit. Finally ended up with a male counselor, who was not a bad fellow, but I just can’t relate as well to a male as I can to a female.

Ultimately, I hope that I can find a new counselor that will be the kind of counselor I need.

In the meantime, I keep working on myself, confronting a lot of the stuff that lurks in the background. I won’t say that I’m fearless, because I’m not fearless. I know it will be tough work. I know that it will not be pleasant. But I want to do it.

Bright thought of today:
