GTD was a godsend to me.  Last may, I was still a mortgage broker, I was starting my journey as a freelancer, and managing a few projects.   I had no clue, and I didn’t know ‘what next,’ about anything.   I started reading http://lifehacker.com right as it was turning into what Greg Swann calls a venderslut area. (I don’t fault them for it, it’s an AWESOME site, you just have to wade through a load of crap to get the good stuff).  They kept talking about GTD, and so I was naturally intrigued.

I got the book. I started rocking a moleskeine.   This was sometime in 2006ish, and it changed my life.  I handled more tasks better, I had more enegy, and the overwhelm was no longer there.

Organize.

Process

Review

Do.

I boiled it down to that, enough for massive improements.  And David Allen’s enlightened common sense approach helped me with that in a big way.  So, like everyone else, he’s on my “board of directors. “  It’s a totem ,a kludge, but I’ll tell you what, my office is organized.  More than it would be anyway.  And, for those of you that haven’t done this, please read the book today.

More to come, as I have to process stuff.

Those idiots.

They still are trolling like it’s business as usual. They still think “638 STATED/STATED 95% LTV NOO” and “GREAT BORROWER” can be in the same sentence.

Man, Oh, Man. I kept that feed for a week. Record for on and off. About 10,000 insipid posts.

Anyway…I’m looking forward to 2008, both in and out of the mortgage business.
