Okay - I could do this to a fault. Sometimes I am so good at organization that my cluttered-self can't find my organized stuff. Ever done that? When you find what you have been looking for you are amazed how smart you were to put IT THERE.....you just couldnt find IT for HOURS.

I found some duplicated files on the Z drive. Since I am new in my reference position I haven't created a lot of files to clutter the drives. I didnt realize that the S drive is purged systematically.

Very worthwhile module

Get Things Done - TIME MGMT
•Presents three major models for gaining control and perspective - I related to the model that utilized the airplane analogy - 6 different levels of focus - Runway level is the current action items (to-do list) and the levels proceed to the 50,000 ft level which is the life goals.

I am a traditionalist.....pen and paper...to-do list...mapping my day....but I do not see the bigger picture and this method appeals to me for that reason.

I deleted alot of stuff and created a lot of files to organize the remaining emails. Felt good....and I am trying to keep up with it. New habits, thing again. I found I kept several emails from yesterday that I could have just deleted upon reading. Fortunately, I am not inundated with emails....good habit to form now and maintain

I read the article on GTD in wikipedia. Good concepts and will try to employ. Probably follow up is my challenge as much as an organizational system. I work with Goggle calendar at the library....it is the staff group calendar.

Don't know if I am ready for Goggle calendar and Remember the Milk....on a personal basis. I like writing my to-do lists....and carrying it around with me.....perhaps when I get a Blackberry or iPhone????

GTD doesn't talk about forming new habits which is central to whether I succeed at organizational attempts. But I like the review list weekly concept and the context listings.
