GTD in consulting

Hey there!

GTD in consulting – well, doesn’t that sound like an interesting proposition!
Unfortunately, I just had the idea to write such an article. Today, I presented GTD for my colleagues, and they quite liked it (did it old school with a flipchart, that was fun), so I might try and look for specific applications in the consulting life.

Anyhow, this week was crazy, this is why I did not post. I took over part of an existing assignment on Monday night, and since then is has been an intensive ride. I had to get into the topic, up to speed, see what has been done, what needs to be done, and so forth… luckily, both the colleague I worked with and the colleague whose part I took over were very helpful and enabled me to find my place – still, transaction cost was high, and so the hours were long… my toughest week so far, but rewarding as well: Our lead valued our efforts, and today we can deliver a good final result to our customer, which means that I can start the weekend with  no open loops and a fresh mind :-)

trying out a new habit

While spending almost all my wake time in the PC lab of university, finishing the thesis, I still had time to complain about my not-existent flat tummy. This complaining got me some sympathy from my girlfriend… and a training plan.

So now I am having lots of fruit and vegetables instead of cookies and chocolate-filled everything, and I have been jogging yesterday… AND today. You hear me right. Second day, still going strong. Maybe I should try the Seinfeld way: Don’t break the chain!

What are your tips for sticking to new habits?
