As a #longtimefed I kept my own journal of what I did each day. Among other things, it made it easier to prepare my accomplishments at evaluation time.
Here are 5 things I did in a particularly memorable week.
1. Met with boss for weekly progress review. Provided a written summary on which boss took copious notes.
2. Made follow-up calls on all discussed projects. Left messages because nobody answered. Because they were out doing the work. ⬇️
pickFinished Book #2 of readathons a few hours ago and forgot to post it. I thought the GTD method the author proposes in this book is very reasonable and should be executable. Maybe I'll try it out starting this next week. #readathon #20in4 #deweysapril @DeweysReadathon @Andrew65

It was a pretty good reading week for me. I loved both Sea Women and Betray You. Both look at history that is tragic and yet so full of hope. I also did a quick reread of #gtd and had fun with a romance.

I am loving We Are Not Like Them and just started Harlem Shuffle for #lmpbc. After that, this may be the week I get to the Ozeki as the #tob starts up. And then the Moriarty is for #bookclub.
I had to wait forever to borrow this book from my local library. Great way to start my reading list for 2022. . Due in 8 days.
I went to a professional training about this methodology about 6 years ago, and have been singing its praises ever since. Yet I somehow never actually got around to reading the accompanying book. Apparently I didn't take it's lessons to heart... That changes now!
panThis one was not for me.
Too much theory and written by someone who I likes the sound of his own voice. 🙄
It didn‘t help that half of the things he suggests I am already doing successfully. Speaking of which: If I had all those numerous lists he suggests I would drown. What he takes 3 steps for I‘m doing in 1.
And it confused me how he tried to add new dimensions of meaning to terms like “areas of responsibility“, “projects“ and “aims”.
pickI‘m always in search of an approach to keep me better organized. This one works!
1. Six. Wrapup coming soon!
2. After three calls and an hour or two on the phone, I was able to order replacement contacts. Desperately needed.

pickThe theory in this book is amazing and I can't wait to implement the whole system. I did the email organization and it did help with stress relief.
I only have two slight issues with this book:
1.) It rambles on a little. (I like "how-to" books that are more to the point.)
2.) You should not - under any circumstances - listen to this book while doing anything else. Not being able to do the exercises backfires and stresses you out even worse.
