Keeping all your projects going at once is a lot like plate spinning. To maintain any sort of momentum, there’s got to be some energy inputs by you or someone else. If you stop paying attention, the project wobbles and eventually grinds to a halt. In this episode, you’re sure to find something that will help you keep your own plates spinning smoothly with nary a wobble in sight. Official GTD® Virtual Study Group website: http://gtdvsg.com

My apologies for the delay in uploading this podcast! This is the June 12 meeting of the group.

In this discussion, we talked about procrastination. Procrastination shows up in a variety of ways from resistance to projects we wish we hadn't taken on to following shiny objects to big-time overwhelm. We discussed ways to overcome and outwit procrastination using GTD tools, including Remember the Milk. Official GTD® Virtual Study Group website: http://gtdvsg.com

My apologies for the confusion surrounding our meeting on April 10. The bridgeline was wonky and I've been slow in getting the podcast posted. Sorry!

We revisited our weekly reviews from 3/31, then talked about waiting-for and context lists. Official GTD® Virtual Study Group website: http://gtdvsg.com
