GTD 的基本理念
The Problem： New Demands， Insufficient Resources
Ready State
Mind Over Water
我想起了有一个地方也提到了 waterThe art of impossible#
概念提出 labeling ：
Info
Here’s how I define “stuff”: anything you have allowed into your psychological or physical world that doesn’t belong where it is, but for which you haven’t yet determined what, exactly, it means to you, with the desired outcome and the next action step. The reason most organizing systems haven’t worked for most people is that they haven’t yet transformed all the stuff they’re trying to organize. As long as it’s still stuff, it’s not controllable.
Getting things done requires two basic components: defining (1) what “done”means (outcome) and (2) what “Getting” looks like (action). And these are far from self-evident for most people about most things that have their attention.
Horizontal and Vertical Action Management
Horizontal control maintains coherence across all the activities in which you are involved.
Vertical control, in contrast, manages thinking, development, and coordination of individual topics and projects.
GTD 具体操作
Info
We (1) capture what has our attention; (2) clarify what each item means and what to do about it; (3) organize the results, which presents the options we (4) reflect on, which we then choose to (5) engage with. This constitutes the management of the horizontal aspect of our lives, incorporating everything that we need to consider at any time, as we move forward moment to moment.
GTD 和认知心理学
Info
Positive psychology Distributed cognition: the value of an external mind Relieving the cognitive load of incompletions Flow theory Self-leadership theory Goal-striving via implementation intentions Psychological capital (PsyCap)
其中我比较熟悉的应该是 flow theory
看了下 PsyCap 是个很有意思的概念。
GTD Mastery
Important
这里的内容写的太好了，值得去多读几遍原文。
学习 GTD 就和开车一样，使用 OmniFocus 这样的 GTD 工具，就好比掌握了基本的开车技巧，可以上路了。当技术更好时，我们就能通过 GTD 来做很多我们之前做不到的事情，比如开车去很多我们没有去过的地方，去做我们曾经做不了的事情；最后一个阶段，我们会决定换辆更好的车，去体验开车的 感觉。
