I use 3 folders - I add one more “New” where I place the new subscriptions. If feed sustains to attract my attention, goes to Important after a while. In other case to unimportant or deleted.

Comment on An Overview of Getting Things Done, or GTD by Brad Blackman

Thanks, Rebecca! I agree, work is a subset of activities in your life that gets way too much attention. I think the trick is to devote the proper amount of time and attention to the different areas in your life in such a way that you aren’t stressed out over it. What looks like balance to you may not be balanced for me.

As a self-described “Artist with a Day Job,” I have finally found a way to adapt GTD principles in a creative way that works for me. I believe that work/life balance is pretty much BS. Work is nothing more than a sub-set of our lives, but it often gets way too much attention. I think that the GTD approach embraces the entire person and all of the “stuff” that goes along with living a full and balanced life.
