FreeCycle – GTD Alternative to Trash Can
September 16th, 2006 | Author: admin
or.. How to Clean Out Your Sock Drawer
Right on the heels of reading Getting Things Done, a friend told us about FreeCycle.
Using the GTD method, you are encouraged to fill up your trash can every day. The inbox is your friend. The file drawer is your friend. The trash can is your friend. And now the FreeCycle re-cycling network is your friend. You can get lots of FREE stuff from FreeCycle and you can give away all your junk on FreeCycle.
Example: I was cleaning out my sock drawer and found I really had 3 sock drawers and way too many white socks. So I put a listing for 1 dozen pair of white socks (no holes, clean, almost new) – FREE.
My friend Cartrel had an expression for something that is quickly completed: “Boom. Done.” So easy to do, and so quickly completed. Within minutes — 9 people contacted me who wanted the FREE socks. Boom, somebody picks up the FREE socks off my front porch. They are happy and I am happy. Boom. Done. Freecycle is cool!
