Happy New Year 2008!
Though definately in the minority, I’m not a big fan of new year’s resolutions, especially since adopting GTD as the nerve center of my life organization. For those who feel compelled to make the annual conscription, here is a good set of guidelines for guilt-free resolutions.
New Year’s is a time of reflection and review….and scheming more ways to winter travel and maximize life. but not to a fault.

Hi Douglas,
thanks for the mention to my article. I have heard a lot about GTD and is currently reading David Allen’s book on GTD.
I’m just wondering, following GTD, you’re just accomplishing things as they happen. Although it gets things done, but it is reactive in nature when you don’t have long term goals in mind.
Doesn’t that make you busy and accomplished, but if you look back, you may not have accomplished truly important things that matter?

Hi Douglas, thanks for the recommendation.
One recommendation to you: to install the ’subscribe to comments’ plugin. It helps people to engage in a two-way conversation via comments.
