  1. You have no idea how much this post has helped me. Thanks

     

    on a separate more holistic note:

     

    I came across getting things done a couple years ago in undergrad and for a young jawnz it was revolutionary.

    I got knee-deep into that hole and to this day I have a bisley file cabinet (in helmut orange)  that has all of my paper documents arranged alphabetically and with a label-maker next to my desk, and a paper-in, paper-out inbox/outbox. 

     

    Electronically I use Dropbox & amazon S3, and notational velocity*/things/evernote are often used to sync up everything from shopping lists to etc.  *Side note: notational velocity is one of the best programs I've ever used, just really lightweight and does one thing, but it does that one thing extremely well.

     

    I came across GTD2.0, aka bullet journal (http://www.bulletjournal.com/) which basically has GTD-like system nomenclature in a more streamlined fashion w/o the extra 'holistic david allen hand-wavey' kind of stuff that amazed the tech crowd back in 2006. Really useful and I've got my pocket notebook (moleskine, natch) always near me.  

     

    I spend a lot of time on public transit, and to use the most of my time I either have PDFs to read, or whatever I'm studying at the time as part of my Anki (http://fluent-forever.com/the-method/spaced-repetition/)

     flashcard deck for review. It's great to be productive flipping through flashcards en queue or in line at the supermart. 

     

    Finally – mindful meditation is one of those things that helped my brain calm down over the years; just being aware of what's going on instead of being too anxious/worried/depressed about everything. 

     

    Oh, and I use elsa shelving for the walk-in closet. Keeps my underwear organized from fun to conservative. (10)
