Fresh Focus On Productivity!™

Welcome back!

61. When I put something into my inbox, I completely trust that it will get done…or I know why it’s not getting done and am comfortable with it.
This is one of the great things about the GTD methodology: if you use the system right, things that you put in your inbox will get done. I typically do those just previous to my Weekly Review so that I can see just exactly what I’ve accomplished from my inbox, and what needs to be put back in again for the following week.

62. When I commit to doing something for someone, I completely trust that I will do it…or I’ll let them know ahead of time why I can’t complete it.
I’ve written several articles about commitment and honoring what you tell people that you are going to do. I’ve made no secret that it is a BIG pet peeve of mine when people and corporations do not hold fast to what they tell me. So I would guess that my answer would come as no surprise.

I will always hold fast to what I tell someone. and if I am unable to hold up to my end of the commitment, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will tell you just as soon as I know. You can really make someone’s life very difficult by not sticking to your word.

63. That low-level anxiety I used to feel around my “stuff” and my work is completely gone.
I wouldn’t say that it’s completely gone, but I will say that it has lessened a great deal. Some of the minuscule details may fall by the wayside, but I’m proud to say that I am much more comfortable with my system than I was a year ago.

Tell me: how are you on trusting, committing and anxiety? Let me know in the comments!
