More time for fun with your kids

If you are like me, want more time for fun with your kids. You will find practical experiences in achieving your goals in life and work using ideas from GTD® or Getting Things Done®. I did.

Here you will find some of our experiences. Questions and fun with our discoveries in the game of work and the business of life.

GTD is a powerful tool widely used in Business and Home life. Changing the way we work and live. GTD has changed my life. So much so that I got my kids involved. That is how the idea for GTD 4 kids came about.

What next? What's now!

It is the simple question of: "What is the next task?" that put me back on the runway - running! I mean what else can you do with the needs of children to me met?

Taking a look from higher up: I want to have a fun, secure and stable home, school nearby and work I am passionate about. And above all, I want to enjoy sharing the fun of life that I feel, with my children.

Its all about living in the moment. Now. All the time. Everyday.

Getting started and getting there

I gave each of my children a calender for Christmas. That's where we started. Paper and pencil being the most sophisticated technology that I use. And now share with Charlotte, Judit and Thomas. This is what we do:

  • My calender is for: 

  • Appointments - days and times
  • Lists, projects and stuff
  • Note taking and mind maps

Getting sorted

The washbasket and my IN basket are all and the same to me. Both pile up quickly. And both need to be sorted one thing at a time. Empty is great feeling and short lived experience.

By doing regular everyday things we are teaching each other about GTD.
