I think this is fantastic, because if you actually think about it, if you don't have a positive outlook in life then of course your daily life will be filled with negativity and problems. Even if you find a million dollars or move in to a mansion, you will still feel empty.

I've always liked GTD, but I have not thought of it with the words sacred structured flow in mind.

Thanks for the different perspective,

Divine Order - brilliant - should have named this article as such! Go with the flow, baby.

I just got a new website. Did the whole thing using TaskUs (www.Taskus.com
<http://www.Taskus.com/> ). I'm starting to believe in this personal
outsourcing thing.

Thank you. Just THANK YOU. This is such an affirmation , since I have just recently put myself on a personal 12-step program for procrastination. ("We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction...") This is a helpful way of looking at working with time--especially for someone who works in deadline oriented environments, but is also influenced by the Native American tradition of moving in Spirit. Trying to deal with time in the "real" world and the Spirit world can seem like such a conflict. But your words give new meaning to Divine Order.

P.S. I recently went out and bought a BIGGER Day Timer. Stopped even trying to hide the fact that I'm still a paper girl. And it really works so much better than the smaller one--for me and my life and my way of processing. Proof that living by your own design just makes things easier.

from one Danielle to another... thanks for the tips! There is a constant stream if stuff i have to do, stuff i want to do and stuff i can't be arsed to do but know i must! It's relentless. Any great tips on beating that damn procrastination gene i have, will always be appreciated. I just found a link to your site on Brocante Home (one of my favourites) and i'll definitely be stopping by more often. You're on my delicious list...

i'm constantly obsessing over organizing, checking out new systems, scanning books (they're usually not interesting enough to read all the way through), etc, and in one page, you covered pretty much everything i find important! thank you thank you for reminding me that i can actually trust my own priorities.

On your #5, have you tried an electronic GTD. Not only do I get a look at email at the lights, but I have my entire project and task list with me. I use to use a printable system too (first daytimer, then Covey), before finding an electronic application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/mo... John

Yes yes and yes! this is a biggie. I'm going to write more (and more) about feelings in relation to strategy. Try this - write how you want to feel every morning in your daytimer. It's so potent.

#4 feels like I've just been handed a key to the universe. I've been struggling for what seems like forever trying to figure out what I "want" -- which changes daily, though the lifestyle elements remain the same. But how I want to FEEL? I can nail that and it doesn't change! Thank you so much for your insight and generosity!

Numbers 6 & 7 have been my tools and habits for years and because of them, I live a peaceful life in what could be a chaotic nightmare.
It's really such a simple system but it works like no other!

THank you Danielle, I thought I was the only one...and I thought I was weird and a pack rat....because I don't file anything either...there is so much going on w me at all times...it becomes hard to organize papers...but my life is VERY MUCH ORGANIZED and like you I ALWAYS GET BACK TO PEOPLE & GET THINGS DONE! That's all that matters right? but I am trying to file things...so I can find them for future reference

Fantastic wisdom, Danielle, especially for those of us who work from home. The first two, especially - we're always rushing, and being in the moment and being honest about the focus needed is so crucial. Thank you.
