Sometimes there are just too many ideas in my head! I actually try to block some of them because I just don\u2019t know how to manage them all. I\u2019ve tried to set up a scheduling system that would handle all my ideas several times and I\u2019ve had limited success with big projects, but I\u2019ve never been able to devise a system for taking care of all my smaller creative notions … the little ones that need more nurturing before they\u2019re done. With all these creative \u201cchildren\u201d running around in my head, I\u2019ve always felt a little like the old woman who lived in the shoe!<\/p>\n
David Allen in Getting Things Done suggests that a schedule actually frees your creative spirit instead of entrapping it. Since I\u2019ve been so overwhelmed with my creative children, I decided to buy this book and give his system a try even though I didn\u2019t believe all that stuff about being freer.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve taken two days to set up the system in his book and I\u2019m already feeling relieved and, yes, even more creative! His system is challenging to set up. It takes a lot of thought, a lot of planning, and a lot of dedication, but the uncluttered mind that is the result feels like a gift from the gods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
