Da Do 1, 1 Thing, Da Do 1 Thing

Thursday is a great day to do that 1 thing you don’t want to do but also don’t want to continue thinking about doing.

Over the holiday break, I streamlined my Getting Things Done system into a single spreadsheet (and a master list to keep all the action items/waiting fors not currently calendared onto the spreadsheet). It’s pretty clear: I have a lot to do.

Today I want to do most of the things on my list, but the thing I don’t want to do is buy plane tickets. Airfare shopping is miserable on the best of days, and this is going to be a multi-city trip that hits Seattle, NYC, Washington DC, and Fort Lauderdale.

I can’t see a way of buying these tickets that takes less than an hour, and because of that I am dreading this task.

But I’m going to do it because it’s part of today’s GTD list! The system works! WHEEEEEE!

What about you?
