The GTD® Virtual Study 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
