To begin at the beginning

Or rather before the beginning…

For those of you who don’t already know Getting Things Done is a system developed by David Allan for tracking, managing and DOING all of the things that we have to do. The basic idea is that when capture all “Open Loops” in a secure external system we will be stress-free enough to actually do some work

For those of you lucky enough not to know any actuaries – actuaries value long term liabilities – we do the maths behind pensions and insurance. So that people will believe that we can do the maths we do a lot of exams. I mean a LOT.

So I have a lot of open loops. I’m determined to stop forgetting appointments, waking up in a panic over jobs I need to do, discovering I have let yet another deadline slip.

In other words I am going to start Getting Things Done.
