Now down to the reason i am replying to this post. I came across your blog inn the first place because like you i am an admirerer of David Allens gtd which i came accross in the summer and i feel that it really does have all the answers i’ve been searching for these past 20 years or so in my persoanl and professional life. However now that i have found the methodology that i think can work my problem is that i have not been able to get my self out of the 20 year plus bad habits that seem to be ingrained into my psyche. For example usually i get to 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon and i am lucky if i have done more than 2 things i really should have done for that day. Looking at your schedules, you get more things done in the first hour of your day than i get doen in a whole day. I work till 7 or 8 pm most days. Most people think i am hard working but in reality i am a highly inefficient worker.

After 4 months i have finally managed to get my gtd projects files updated. My biggest problem seems to be that i am very bad at what gtd calls ‘processing’. I have managed to get a googd list of next actions done but doubt if i will get anything done in the next 6 months!

My life is at a crossroads and if i don’t make drastic changes i dont know what i’ll do. I have to raised $20,000 in 2 months and i know that it is not out of the bounds of reasonable expectation to achieve it.

I’ve read in your blogs that you used to wake up at any time after 7am and now you get up at 4.45. I know you have schedules and check lists but surely something must happen in your mindset for you to implement these things. I want to know how you managed to change your mindset to avheive many of the things you have done.

Keep up the good work.
