The problem I have is many tasks continue to sit in the active actions section for a long period of time. The tasks that stay around are tasks where I’m waiting for someone on an ongoing project (not a full handoff, typically something less ‘email’ orienated and more ‘whatsapp’ back and forth communication or I already ‘followed up’ in the last day, or the task I want to postpone due to tact (I don’t want to be pushy), or its something I want a staff to do, but I don’t want to overload them by dumping my entire to do list onto them at one time. All of the above are good reasons to delay a task, however they could also be described as procrastination. Being bullheaded and less concerned about tact would possibly be more productive.
Is there some methodical GTD mindset where if its on the next action, you don’t procrastinate, you just do it? Ive read that in the GTD overviews, is that really feasible? Or should I be using the next review option more. Are my active actions not really active? *I imagine many of you have tasks siting in your list that sit there forever. *Whats the GTD mindset that will help make progress. I’m bothered because I finish lots of tasks and feel good, but some tasks sit in my action lists forever, and it’s a time drag/mental downer that these tasks never go away. I’m looking for feedback concerning the use of MLO, or possibly outside the box/gtd/task management feedback. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
