No pienso plantearme buenos propósitos para 2010

buenos-propositos¿Por qué no hago propósitos ni planteamientos de cambio para 2010? Porque no los necesito. Uso GTD, por tanto tengo definidos mis horizontes de perspectiva. Mediante estos horizontes me mantengo motivado y enfocado a lo que quiero. Enero no es un mes distinto a Mayo en cuanto a motivación.

Mucho se ha escrito sobre la parte de GTD orientada a acciones y proyectos, pero creo que se ha escrito muy poco acerca de los horizontes de perspectiva, y creo que es una de las grandes aportaciones de GTD, así que voy a orientar esta entrada a cómo funcionan en general los horizontes de perspectiva y también, en concreto, cómo los utilizo yo.

Entonces, ¿Qué es lo que tengo que sustituye a mis buenos propósitos de 2010?

  1. Mis metas a largo (50.000 ft)
    Las tengo en un mapa mental (freemind), y esencialmente es una descripción textual de lo que quiero ser y hacer en la vida en las áreas que considero principales: negocios, economía / finanzas, organización personal, expresión creativa, salud, familia, crecimiento personal, conciencia social, ocio y relaciones personales.

GTD: Improve integration in ThinkingRock

Filed under: Artículos 

This article is about the way I organize myself (I happily follow the “Getting Things Done” metodology). To help me manage tasks and projects, I use ThinkingRock.

I have finished the infrastructure for integrating of external apps into TR (by using some scripting magic and the Notes field). At the moment it is a quick hack, but “it works for me (TM)” Razz

This article complements the KMail integration post which can be found here: http://www.thinkingrock.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2321

At the moment, I have integrated:

  • Freemind: For mind mapping and many other tasks (it is a very important app for my daily work)
  • Openproj: A MSProject like app for managing complex projects
  • TiddlyWiki: A very interesting tool for structured documentation

Adding new apps (openoffice, gimp, …) is really easy, as everything is done outside TR and without programming. I will come on this topic later.

VISION
I have just created a project/action in TR, and now I want to:

  • Attach a mindmap from an existing template very easily without bothering with filenames and folders
  • Attach a complex project from an existing template very easily without bothering with filenames and folders
  • Attach a new spreadsheet from an existing template very easily without bothering with filenames and folders
  • Keep everything related to the main project/action
  • Have all the docs available with a single click in the link
  • Easily create templates (for example I have a mind-map template with all the things I have to ask to a customer interested in elearning).
  • If I want to add 4 different files to an action, I just have to: launch the script, select the templates and press enter (this is not completely achieved at the moment Razz )
  • Everything must be safe (no modifying or reading the xml file) and must survive between updates of TR
