 Scaffolding helps with GTD
First post. Like another responder, I did something similar a month ago and it's helping me improve things a great deal. I tried to think of a word for what I did, but didn't come up with anything as perfect as a scaffolding. My cheesy attempt was "chrontext", a play on GTD's context, because scaffolds act like GTD contexts, but rather than being out of necessity (ie, I only have a phone on me so that's all I can do), they are out of design (this is my time to do only this sort of thing).
I think something like scaffolding is missing in the perfection of GTD. Perhaps if you have a job where your time is structured it's not as necessary, but if you don't, you need to create that structure yourself. It's something in between GTD's trust-your-intuition-if-your-system-is-complete and the more conventional calendar. And it's designed to be temporary, which is great, a sort of intuition aid for the wayward. I wonder what Mr Allen would think of scaffolding. |
