My 2020 GTD Yearly Review

December 29, 2020 - Pittsburgh

I'd bet that everyone who practices David Allen’s Getting Things Done productivity methods would agree that the most difficult but most rewarding habit in GTD is the Weekly Review. My “weekly” reviews are logged onto a big text file on Sundays at least every 2 months. Even with poor regularity, a good effort in reflective writing is always worth it.

Almost forgetting the good things: My 2020 didn't feel productive or fun at all but after reviewing my weekly notes I was surprised to read of a lot of things to be proud of and thankful for. Had I not taken the time to write these notes I would have needlessly carried this negative selective memory of 2020.

This year my goal is to ramp up more “deep work” reading and with my “tsundoku” backlog of reading material ahead of me I’m trying out this newsletter platform out as a simple place to publicly reflect on my readings.
