Getting Things Done (GTD) as the foundation Maybe this blogpost helps or inspires others and I might even find ways to improve my own system by trying to explain it in this blogpost. Using everything I’ve read and learned along the way, I created an easy to use and fairly simple system for myself in which I basically cherrypicked bits and pieces. I’ve been intrigued by time management and self-management systems and methods, and I tried various over time. My brain can no longer keep track of everything, so I need an external system I can rely on. Above all, I need a system to keep track of all my actions and to-dos. My full schedule requires a routine and way of working to stay on top of things. It’s also pretty long for a single blogpost, but I decided to keep it this way for readability purposes… I put it away and picked it back up a number of times so there might be some inconsistency here and there. I decided to start writing this non-technical blogpost to get some thoughts in writing. ![]() I’ve been out on summer holiday and that gave me some time to reflect and think of ways to better organize my “stuff”. I have recently set up Getting Things Done (GTD) in Outlook and To-Do with Braintoss as my capture tool to help manage my actions and to-dos. In other words, a busy but very enjoyable life :-). ![]() I want to get back in shape, so I picked up playing basketball, running and going the gym, and I also have some dormant ambitions in terms of study and education. I picked up teaching as a freelance IT docent at the Novi Hogeschool in Utrecht. My Field CTO role at ITQ is keeping me pretty busy, mostly during office hours. I’ve got a busy family life with a lovely wife and two beautiful daughters. Like for most people, my personal and professional life has become increasingly busy.
