You have developed, used and digest many GTD systems over years. These systems produced a bunch of outputs that you put in the bin, or classified somewhere in a file cabinet. However, what about learning of these outputs? I mean, coming back at them and see what goes well and what goes wrong. Bellow is a little text wrote by Dale Carnegie that reported the sayings of the Wall Street bank\u2019s president in years 1930. I think it worth reading and thinking about it.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFor years I have kept an engagement book showing all the appointments I have during the day. My family never makes any plans for me on Saturday night, for the family knows that I devote a part of each Saturday evening to illuminating process of self-examination and review and appraisal. After dinner I of by myself, open my engagement book, and think over all the interviews, discussions, and meetings that have taken place during the week. I ask myself:<\/p>\n
\t\u201c\u2019What mistakes did I make that time?\u2019
\n\t\u201c\u2019What did I do that was right \u2013 and in what way could I have improved my performance?\u2019
\n\t\u201c\u2019What lessons can I learn from that experience?\u2019
\n\t\u201c\u2019I often find that this weekly review makes me very unhappy. I am frequently astonished at my own blunders. Of courses, as the years have gone by, these blunders have become less frequent. Sometimes now I am inclined to pat myself on the back a little after one of these sessions. This system of self-analyses, self-education, continued year after yea, had done more for me than any other one think I have ever attempted.\u2019
\n\t\u201cIt has helped me improve my ability to make decisions \u2013 and it has aided me enormously in all my contacts with people. I cannot recommend it too highly.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nYou need to have in mind that that president had little formal schooling and was one of the most important financiers in America in that time.<\/p>\n
Note: this excerpt come from the book \u201cHow to Win Friends and Influence people\u201d by Dale Carnegie. I will write back on that really interesting work in the next days.<\/p>\n
