12:35 Action
You can't take action on everything. Thinking through what to do with all the
"learn to" todos aI have and all the "read" or "think about" ones I have as
well, it occurs to me that you can't remember, or process or learn everything you
come across.
So what am I to do with everything? In GTD, I believe the goal would be to
create action plans for implementing things that are projects and then
prioiritize them. Then, when you have downtime or a lull, go through the someday
list and pull the top one off the list that you are enabled to do.
Sometimes a project requires money, or the right resources, or the right person.
And other times, a project isn't obvious. But can you "projectize" an idea or a
desire to learn something? Or what about a reading?
What if when you choose to read something, you went through a process of reading
where you attempt to actually internalize it. And if you're not doing that, just
walk away?

Felt like we officialy stayed our welcome in Athol today. There were a lot of
screens throughout the day, and Jens seemed pretty put out with dinner. I ended
up hanging out with Nabby for large chunks of the late morning and afternoon,
mostly with her sleeping on me. Which was fine, but lent the entire day a
"sedentary" quality.
I think I might have preferred to leave this afternoon rather than cutting it
close with the selectboard meeting tomorrow. But it has been nice being here.
It's been neat getting to know Sebastian better and seeing how all the kids
interact. So far, what I've got to go on with teenagers is Peter and Sam and
that wasn't the healthiest relationship.
Watching the kids here communicate and help each other, or twit each other, or
ask what the other is doing has been really neat.
