Getting Things Done

I'm sure most people would like to find ways to be more efficient in their lives.  Recently, in the event of starting my master's classes, taking care of a new puppy, and teaching full time, I have had to become more  effective at managing my time.  For some people, a daily To-Do list works fine to help keep them organized.  However, others may need more of a process like that of "Getting Things Done" or GTD.  

I organized my GTD using a document on Google Docs.  I wanted to be able to access my process for GTD from my home computer, my school computer, and even on my phone.    

The first time I went through the process I found it to be very helpful.  I have always made To-Do lists in the past and they have never been consistent or analyzed as to the level of priority for tasks.  With this process in place, I have found myself to be more effective managing my tasks I need to complete.  

I think this process can help me if I can set it up and use it consistently.  In using it the past few days, I have been able to get more done in the same amount of time.  I like how it forces me to categorize and prioritize my tasks that I need to complete.  

In all, I think I will continue this process for a couple reasons.  For one, I am using Google Docs daily, so it will help me use the process consistently.  The other reason is that I am in great need to "get things done" at this time in my life!
