How to Apply the GTD System to Blogging
My confidante and comrade is very deep on David Allen’s novel model on commerce/life hacks, , or to use the engrossed legend, “Getting Things Done: the tastefulness of prominence-unimpeded Productivity”, also known by the acronym GTD.
Some time ago I purchased the book and made a start on applying the system, but I have to allow it is still on my shopping list of things to do! GTD aficionados will see the irony (or should that be embarrass?) of that utterance.
Be that as it may, Bill Vick has kindly sent me today a link to a quite considerate and - given my procrastination on the thesis - challenging post on how to allot the GTD principles and system to blogging.
In , Leo Babauta shows, step by tread, how to use the GTD approach and approach to making blogging a more pleasurable and efficient handle.
The steps are straightforward reasonably and an already organized myself intention perhaps be a breeze to implement. Not being myself the most organized themselves in the , I can see that some of the required deed could report a poker-faced to question an eye to me to do consistently and wholly. At the very nevertheless, I can also see how getting some of the more act tasks done more systematically could free my judgement up for the more originative aspects of blogging.
The post has profusion of practical advice, such as:
One of the problems with the way people piece of equipment GTD is that they pay out too much set fiddling with the modus operandi and their tools. You’re a employ in the flesh — you don’t beget meanwhile to do all that. Pick a cut, and poke with it. immediately spend your dilly-dally in reality writing your posts, and responding to comments, and making your blog haler.
Even if it did not make the blog measurably , making the blogger’s tasks, and sparkle, more stress-free, sounds to me like a avail goal or two to have.
One whatsis the post does not appear to hail explicitly, as is picked up in individual of the comments, is the process of reading feeds from other blogs. I think it likely that is an oversight and could be folded into the proceeding outlined in the post. But it is an important applicability. Anyone who wants to be a in the money blogger needs to confine honest time to reading other blogs and commenting on them: using feeds to do that is active to be much more effective in the “getting things done” scheme of things than going to the blogs one by one.
