I finished reading “Getting Things Done” on Sept. 5, and plan on reading (reviewing) it again in March 2007. Chapters 11 and 12 really summarized everything nicely.

My basement office is transformed. My bed-room is clutter free. My project list is longer than ever, but I’m getting that “feeling of relaxed control” more often than the feeling of panic.

All this is nice, and it’s more than just a 30 day expirement. Real change has happened in my life. But is there a downside to being so driven by lists? What good habits will slip (decay) in the next 6 months? Will any inbox get too full, neglected, and tossed into the “back room”? What buckets will spring a leak?

Note to self: Conduct a rigorous self-audit in March 2007.
