Day off. - Seriously


So after working 42 of 48 hours this weekend its monday. I decided that I would take it easy.

So after visiting the Starbucks and the bank, making a few calls to the studio I started to work on my GTD list for today. For those of you visiting this blog for the first time. I am a seriously busy person. Running one of Toronto's most successful wedding photo/video studio while also owning and managing Canada's largest Film conversion company, and a few other fun businesses (ObjectiveEye, MontrealHomeMovies, Excellence Photography - Boca, and Reelife Ent)

To keep myself organized I am a diciple of David Allen's book Getting Things Done - or GTD. I maintain 3 main lists.

Todays GTD - split with Today, Tomorrow and waiting
Main GTD - a list of all major decsions and developments
Future GTD - a list of dreams, goals and expectations

There are rules to follow - here are my top 3

  1. Don;t BS myself - If there is no way I am going to get it done today - move it to tomorrow.
  2. Cannot move a task more than 3 times
  3. Start the day with the list.

Today my day off - I have 20 things. Yikes. The good news? I have done 4 of them and am on my way to the studio to handle 5 more before going downtown to handle 3 more.
