New Getting Organized Experiment?

<< < (3/9) > >>

Bjorn_Bear:
Get the ball rolling  :up:, because I have ton's of work that soon
reached the size of Kilimanjaro.

In a moment of weakness
'Why oh Why do I do this to myself'

I am happy in Chaos, it's the way I am.
I know it should be more organised, but I do ten times more things then the next 'organised' person.
Yes I envy their planned life, the spare time they have, the neat and tidy desktop.

Yet again I pledge my allegiance to the DC cause.
ToDoList has been a shining light, just need to knock out a few to many tasks, and add some leisure,

I'm In.
(Category chosen is 'delegate' , stop doing everything myself and get somebody else to do it.)

There's an interesting post here: Genius Catalyst
about Expectations versus Standards, Agreements and Hope

So how do we manage our expectations of life and of other people in a way that allows us to think creatively about the future without setting ourselves up for future disappointment?

There are three distinctions that I have found extremely useful in answering this question for myself:-
not 100% sure why I'm posting it here - maybe I think it might help me (+others?) to get things moving here or anywhere that might be important ...
I had a post planned for here a while back along the line of "specifics" as suggested by Tuck, but I cant remember it and dont know did I even write it down anywhere :-[

So I'm printing that out and I'll think on it a bit and see do I come up with anything ;)

Grorgy:
At a quick look it seems interesting, thanks for posting it tomos

How about starting a new child board (GOE 2009) and  people can post about their ideas what they'd like to work on and we could take it from there?

Then, when people have theme(s) they could add a distinguishing marker to their threads related to that theme - adding name at the beginning probably easiest ?
e.g. "[tomos]-Procrastinating again :-)"  (can sort by titles then and group each persons posts*)


my list (themes) would be something along these lines
clearing backlog - mostly stuff in boxes ;)
à la my post above - expectation/sense of obligation -> procrastination (avoiding/reacting because of pressure from self or others)
Again, I cant remember the third ... (organisation comes to mind as another theme!)

And because it would be individual projects it really doesnt matter how many or how few get involved - obviously nicer to have a bunch of people involved though


* I forgot: can sort by "Started by" column
