Apathetic Thursday

I recently bought and am currently reading through David Allen’s book, getting things done. So far I am very intrigued with what he has to say, and I more or less subscribe with his line of reasoning. Several of the things he talks about and suggests, are things I have seen myself, only I haven’t really been able to explain or perhaps even notice it. Over the past few weeks I have been partially following his steps and I think for the most part his advice has really helped.

But that’s not what I want to talk about. If you re-arrange the words of his books title, you get “Done Getting Things” (Or, Getting Done Things, Things Getting Done, Things Done Getting, and Done Things Getting… but that’s not my point either.)

In the high tech gadget society in which we live, it is very tempting to get everything. We want, we want, we want. My theory here is that at the same time we need to start getting things done, we need to stop getting things. This will virtually ruin our economy. This too, is not what I want to talk about.

What I really want to focus on is me. I’m a person, and as a result, I am thrilled to talk about myself, what I think, and how I feel. I do not want to talk about this aspect of human nature… at the moment.

So what exactly, am I trying to say? I need to start getting things done and I need to stop getting things that I don’t really need… And I guess I really don’t have a whole lot more to say on this subject. At least for the moment. I’ve been brewing over it all day and I thought maybe I was getting somewhere, but alas, I was not.
