#28 Spring Cleaning and GTD

The GTD article addresses an issue we all need to think about. It is always helpful to organize one's workflow and priorities. I don't think my job usually requires a system as complex as this one, since many tasks I have to do are regularly recurring jobs that must be done every day. There are useful thoughts included, however. The idea that we should handle items only once if possible is a useful one. I think email management is one of the easiest and most profitable places to apply these principles. I tend to accumulate many pages of emails in my inbox, which should be moved into folders or processed immediately. I am trying to work more efficently in this area by creating folders for information that I will need later, rather than keeping it in my inbox.

I also looked at Google calender and the other list-making sites, but don't wish to use these at this time. I already have a Yahoo account which includes a calendar feature. If I decide I need it, I would probably use that instead of opening a new account. When we had the calendar feature on Webmail, I did use it quite a bit, so maybe I will look at that possibility.
