You may be sitting there asking yourself “How does someone with mild OCD and ADD ever GTD?”. A person in the chat room asked recently asked how I am able to manage my time, and what time management tips I might have for someone who has way too much going on at once.

How do I do it? I honestly don’t know. It’s always just been “in” me. That’s the OCD part of me. I can’t stand not to get things done, so that brings in the GTD part. Then of course, my ADD kicks in and my brain goes flying off in another direction. GTD is Getting Things Done, for those who may not know. Personally, I think I got lucky. I keep everything organized. If I didn’t, I would go nuts. That’s part of my OCD. It literally makes me crazy not to be organized. But, by being this organized, it makes it much easier for me to stay focused and get things done… beating out my ADD at times.

The way I get things done is my Inbox. If I have a task to take care of, it’s in my Inbox. That’s how I stay organized honestly. Since my world is electronic, it’s in there. If I REALLY need to get things done, this is what I do: I make a Post-It note. They drive me nuts. I HATE them. So… I make one for something that’s really important. That galvanizes me into getting it done, just so I can get rid of that damn Post-It. I annoy myself, in order to get things done. It may sound crazy, but it works. You have to do what will work for you.

By having everything I need to take care of in my Inbox, I can deal with them one-by-one. I deal with one, respond to it… delete it… or save it in a separate folder… and move on to the next one. So, my Inbox is “it” for me. What’s it for you? How do you roll? What makes things flow for you? I’d love to hear your tips and tricks, so I can pass them on to others.
