Organization is crucial to maintain a semblance of order within one’s household – particularly when there are kids around said household. Or so I’ve been told. Personally, I am very into the idea of organization, if not always the executional details. I have recently, however, become a devotee of David Allen’s Getting Things Done book and system (GTD). My dad, an inspired lifelong learner, is also into the system and the book – and if you were to never lay eyes on the physical space he calls his office, you might well believe the system is working well for him. I highly recommend GTD for all of you who don’t know what day of the week it is. Knowing what day of the week it is, as well as what city you’re currently located in are two key tenets of the system, and putting those ideas into practice has yielded immediate results. I’ve been organizing my life – which apparently falls into neatly labeled and organized manilla folders at this point. I’ve been enjoying the process. One of the main tools recommended by David Allen is an automatic labeler, in order to create professional looking files. Based on my dad’s previously mentioned enjoyment of GTD, I was lucky enough to receive a P-Touch labeler for Christmas. That’s how we roll. I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Some might argue that I’m enjoying it too much…
