It's a system that basically deals with how to sort through the roughly 4 billion things you have to do and, as the title implies, just get things done.<BR/><BR/>Here's a link that has some initial information about the system:<BR/><BR/>http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/08/getting-started-with-getting-things-done/<BR/><BR/>Hope it helps.<BR/><BR/>peace,<BR/><BR/>bvlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145852508149185692006-04-23T21:21:00.000-07:002006-04-23T21:21:00.000-07:00We all get burned out eventually.

Can I ever relate!<BR/><BR/>I have calls that I am so seriously arrears on making(including one to you!); gotta take the cello in to get it restrung, gardening(before a lot of barely-green things die on me), writing to do, boards to turn in, bills, films, blah, blah--and I don't even have <I>kids</I>! I know you have a mighty full plate all the time. I don't know how you do it, Ward. But I do know this:<BR/>You'll be back! I guarantee that the bug will start buzzing 'round your brain again to post. And your fans here are righton: it should and WILL be fun, nothing else. This modern world...it's so easy for things to qucikly take over and become a burden. Enjoy your break! : )<BR/>-JennyJenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145384889918043702006-04-18T11:28:00.000-07:002006-04-18T11:28:00.000-07:00Oh no, first Julia @ ticky tacky, and now the ward...Oh no, first Julia @ ticky tacky, and now the ward-o-matic! Some of my new favorite blogs are going on hiatus. But, at the same time, I totally get where you are coming from. I've stepped it back lately myself, just because I don't want to documenting to take more time and headspace than the actual experiences themselves.

Let it be fluid and fun. Maybe you've given yourself too many posting assignments. Of course, it's easy for me to say that considering I don't have the blogging audience you have, but still, it's your blog, so just do what you enjoy.<BR/><BR/>I hope you come back soon...JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301955517044392288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145366665462346432006-04-18T06:24:00.000-07:002006-04-18T06:24:00.000-07:00I feel you dawg...

It seems that you are suffering from the "too much on your plate syndrome". Take the break and relish the ability to focus on important things. Hopefully, this will reboot the 'ole' brain pan and you can get back to sharing your eccentricities and art.<BR/>Best of Luck.<BR/>DaveKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145300262274244952006-04-17T11:57:00.000-07:002006-04-17T11:57:00.000-07:00I understand, but will miss your blog while you're...I understand, but will miss your blog while you're away.
