System book

I've got an Apica notebook that I've been using to track thoughts on my GTD process. It's been in use for a couple of years. Mostly it's a list of going from program A to B to C and back again, followed with a post or two about how I should just DO stuff instead. The problem is that if I don't read it, I don't do it. And the other problem is that over time, I stop looking at any program on my Palm. And I think that it doesn't matter for awhile because I really don't have anything that I need to track or do. I'll finally sit down and draw up a list of projects. Then I'll start trying to work on those actions.

The truth is that there isn't anything wrong with my system and that any of them would work. The reason for switching to a new system is to trigger that work on new projects. Somehow, that doesn't happen when I try to stick to a single system. For example, I've been using Note Studio for awhile. I like the program. I can sync it with my laptop and it's great for reference work. I've got a nice basic system set up and entered a few things. I deleted off some of the completed projects and some that went bye-bye with the house. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to upgrade Pocket Quicken and go with that for awhile. I think my biggest issue GTD-wise is that I've got good organizational skills that never get a workout. If I had a ton of stuff to work on and track, I'd just do it. But the switching back and forth makes it feel like there's more that I really need to do.

For now, I'm going to try and use Note Studio. And I think I'll put that extra time into doing a little writing.
