I second the "weekly review" comment, Rebecca.
Tomorrow's Sunday and it's my weekly review time. It's really important to do it every week to stay focused on the goals.
I've read books by Covey and by Allen and I still prefer Allen's Getthing Things Done (GTD).
It actually inspired me to write my own GTD web application -
Nozbe - I've used it for some time in-house and now I decided to show it to the world....
The beauty of GTD is that there is no "right way" of doing GTD, everyone should try what's working for them.
For example
Nozbe is my own take on GTD and I'm launching it to actually see if there will also be people who would like to do it the way I'm doing it :-)
I'm launching the beta version later this week.
BTW, what I also love about GTD concept is the "next action" concept - according to David Allen:
The "next action" is the next physical, visible activity that needs to be engaged in, in order to move the current reality toward completion.
...and this is so true... sometimes we are stuck with something because we just fail to identify "what's my next action?"...
