Tom commented on Time management for system administrators by Tom Limoncelli
Chapter 7 was about life goals.
I like this chapter. I will admit that when the book told me "go do it now, write some things down... you didn't didn't you? It's ok, go do it now!" I still didn't write anything down.
But one of the things that it suggested that I really like is writing down the goals with time frames. 1 month, 1 year, 5 years.
Getting Things Done also suggests having goals like this, but I don't think they're as clear about the time frames. I have written down goals before, but they really haven't done anything for me.
Perhaps this one will help more.
Although at this point I also feel like there is quite a bit more process to the Cycle System than I expected. Meaning really that I feel like there is a lot of "But don't forget to do X", and invariably I forget to do all those X's.
