I had a hard time implementing the structure in GTD in my life. Mostly because it's ungodly complicated and makes my head hurt, but I did get some very useful basic tips out of it that have helped me when I analyze why I'm not able to be productive. Then I'm able to take steps toward changing that. Breaks are good, too...especially the completely unproductive sit-and-stare-at-a-wall ones. Oh man do I hear this post, Sean!

If I were Batman, it would be my Penguin. To me, being in a rut goes against the laws of existence. Everything needs to keep growing and moving forward. Thats why when I feel like I'm in a rut, I try to define it as soon as poossible, find out how I got there, then I take decisive action to move forward. Great post!

I feel your frustration Sean. I, soon, will be moving back to PHX and will be striving to support myself solely from online ventures. That means WORKING (not browsing the net) 8-10 hours a day. It will be tough, but once I establish that schedule and do everything I can towards it, I know I will succeed. You, I know are the same way Sean. We all could use a little more focus and hopefully, when you get to Thailand the projects you will be working on will get your head back on straight. I am sure it will so keep looking ahead bud.

It's OK to get in a rut every once in a while. That's the challenge of working on your own time. As they say - if it was easy, everyone would do it. If anything, moving to Thailand and hooking up with Dan's Tropical MBA will definitely force you to realign priorities, reorganize and what not. Cheers to the final days of 2009! See you next year.
