Getting Things Done (GTD)

I am a little familiar with the process of GTD.  The problem that I face with it, is the commitment. I can go along with the plan for only a couple of days and then find myself getting behind which in turn results in stress.  I find it best if I use pencil and paper.  Using a computer and cell phone requires to many steps for me to go through when I'm trying to complete a task. When I can get what I need quickly, I am better off in doing what it is that I need to get done. I like to put the things that take the most time to get done first, or the harder things that require more energy and focus ahead of those things that require little time and focus. This wasn't necessarily my first time going through this process, but I tried a different approach.  Things that I could do in less than 2 minutes, I went ahead and completed those things.  Getting it Done that way, quickly eliminated items off of my list. The GTD process will help me in the future and this is something that I will pass on to my students in class. Working on getting things done that way, was better than the previous way that I was going about completing things.  This way gave me more to concentrate on the bigger projects instead of running out of steam at the end and no doing well on the projects that were suppose to be easy.  I will continue to use the process and share this helpful tip to my students.  This year our school has changed to a A day B day block and students have 10 classes instead of 4. If my students are aware of the process and could adopt it into their daily lives, it will help them be more successful in organization and completing assignments in a timely manner.
