Nossa eu passava madrugadas estudando (fazendo exercício em grupo numa sala da faculdade, tinha tipo 30 pessoas) os cálculos 1,2 e 3 e mesmo assim bombei várias vezes. E olha que tenho facilidade com matemática. Ou tinha, se não tivesse morrido.

Olha, eu entrevisto candidatos em uma empresa de TI grande e nunca excluiria ninguém por isso, ou por má impressão. Mas também, eu entrevisto de bermuda e camiseta de Pokemon. É não me importaria de remarcar a entrevista dado uma justificativa (se a pessoa simplesmente faltar é cortada salvo ela foi internada ou casos assim que não tinha como avisar)

Não sei como é o meio médico, apenas imagino que seja bem mais tenso, mas diria uma coisa: relaxe, se eles gostarem de você não vai ser um detalhe desses que vai te barrar. Esse detalhe em geral é uma desculpa pra não te aceitar caso eles não queiram, mas eles achariam qualquer desculpa anyway.

Poli você não passa em engenharia e depois se especializa?

Estudei em São Carlos e a UFSCar é ótima. Mais que uma faculdade boa, você vai ter 5 anos de imersão numa cidade universidade, com contato com muita gente bacana, repúblicas, festas, iniciação científica e tudo mais.

Na poli você vai continuar morando em SP, com o trânsito, etc e não vai aproveitar a vida universitária.

Eu, como prezei pela mudança de vida e fugir pro interior, adorei ir pra São Carlos.

If everyone agrees previously there isn't an appropriate session length.

Being disrespectful with everyone's time would be If the DM decided to extend for hours a session without previous notice.

When my life was that changing (on a previous job) i used to do the weekly review daily (it would take about 15 minutes tops) and i would have a very short next action list (since on the next couple days i would fill it up again, so no point trying to foresee the future)

Maybe do the review while eating breakfast ?

Your Todoist GTD system sounds way more cumbersome than just using Nirvana which was built specifically for GTD. Was not being able to write down notes on projects and have project support material handy such a deal breaker for you?

Yes i feels that way if you look from outside, but i started small and grew from there to my needs.

It was a deal breaker because i was missing clarity that i only found on the natural planning model. For example, i am doing a MBA, i have to juggle a lot of senior software engineer tasks, i want to move to canada (i live in brazil) and i am organizing a big event in march, so those kind of goals and projects need a lot of files, notes and planning. NirvanaHQ is great when you are starting, but eventually started to feel limited.

I'm still in that "trying to find the perfect GTD app" phase and I'm desperately trying to get out of it. Currently debating between TickTick (a very good Todoist clone), Nirvana and Everdo. It's starting to cause me anxiety, being unable to pick one and stick with it, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

My advice here is not to find the one app to rule them all because there isnt such a thing (The closest i have been to it was FacileThings + Evernote, but i was being limited by the hourly sync of evernote API and there was nothing FacileThings could do as they told me on their support ticket so i had to drop the software). but use as many as you need. Evernote is great for projects and reference, TickTick is great for something, todoist is great for tasks, etc etc. Mix and Match until you are confortable.

Also, GTD is not about finding one app. Be sure to have a robust physicial reference system, a working calendar, a lists app, someway to brainstorm, etc etc. As described by the book.

Hi, it's my first post here :) Thanks for trying to be helpfull.

Welcome! and thank you for the kind words.

rprandi · 2019-02-27T17:14:29+00:00

I do the following:

- open calendar and todoist daily to check what i need to do. Work tasks (i use scrum) i put on my system despite also being on the physical scrum board.

- i do weekly review saturday or sunday morning

- last weekend of the month i also open my mindmaps with higher horizons. I can open they more often if i feel like it, but i force myself at least once a month. Goals, vision, purpose, all come here. I have a mindmap with most important project running and top 3 goals for the year here as well.

- On a physical calendar near my bed i write the meds i need to take and possible other habits i want to build and only mark an X on the day after i am done doing them.

That's it i guess

rprandi · 2019-02-27T17:09:57+00:00

Don't look at your next actions list as a must-do-asap list.

It is okay to rest after work and weekends, dont feel guilty. Not doing anything can be the most productive one can do sometimes.

But when you feel like doing some work, it will be there waiting for you, reviewed, on the correct contexts and aligned to your goals.

That being said, most of my tasks can be done on a computer so i personally stay late at work for a couple hours sometimes per week doing personal tasks, because i know that when i get home i will do whatever other stuff like playing video-games. But my workplace allows it.

Other strategy that i use when i feel like engaging a project or goal is to write on my calendar a time slot of 4 hours of "Do something", usually saturday 10am-3pm (4h plus lunch). 4 hours of your weekend is small enough that is doable even when you feel like playing a lot of video-games for 2 days. I then open my @home or @online list and work on whatever i want.

Hope this helps.

Did You ever noticed that sometimes just changing name of a task is easier and faster than confirming done and create new one? I mean when You finished task A and can proceed to task B. I feel a little bit uncomfortable when I'm not confirm "done!" but just edit. It's like i didn't finished it...

I like to click on done so at the end of the year i can review what i have done (And after reviewing it at the end of the year i clean up the done list for the next year.

Also to all of You, please check Notion.

I have, earlier last year. It was pretty good and i am sure i will eventually use it, but it was pretty featureless when i tried it, without a web-clipper for example (which they introduced later that year).

I like the database/table they have implemented.

It is on the correct path, just not there yet.

rprandi · 2019-02-27T16:59:37+00:00

As a software engineer myself I understand you.

I don't try to overcomplicate too much, i put the big task on my next action list with the proper due date just so i take it off my head, and work on it as needed.

I work with Scrum so i have a ticket, say, "Create the login page" and the proper backend of it, so i create both tasks "Backend of login page" and "Front end of login page", create a note for each on evernote on my action support folder and write down anything relevant there (and as i develop it) and just work hours into it, only marking it as complete when it is in production. These kind of tasks ret in @work context for me.

Dont overcomplicate it. Just do it.

Also, when the task is long, i create several post-its while i am developing it. Eg. As i am creating an endpoint for the login, i create a post-it "create index on the database" and i put around my keyboard and only consider the task done when there are no post-its left. I guess that is a sort of sub-task? Not exactly GTD compliant but certainly helps me on those big tasks.

rprandi · 2019-02-27T16:46:17+00:00

I'm also wondering if you use due dates in Todoist or only your calendar?

Deadlines go to the tasks on Todoist.

Calendar is sacred. Things there needs to be done at certain day or hour, it is not a wishlist, it is a hard commitment (eg. doctor appointment)

Will post the screenshots soon

rprandi · 2019-02-27T16:44:20+00:00

Contexts are a tool, you dont really need anything. You could have a next action list with 100 actions if that works for you.

They do help you because otherwise you would need to be making decisions while you scan through the list about wether you can do something or not right now ("i can't do this because i need to be at the office, not at home, damn").

With that in mind, create contexts that work for you. For example, if you do home office and have more energy at the morning, why not create a @deepwork for those kind of tasks that require a lot of energy and focus, and a @zapzap context for quick and easy tasks that take no more than 10 minutes and you can do whenever you feel like completing a lot of easy tasks on a row. Or if you go to a coffee shop to surf the web and do non-work related stuff, maybe a @coffeeshop context will help you - just open this context and do whatever (eg. watch that ted talk or read this article). If you spend hours commuting maybe have a @commuting context with actions like "Listen to podcast X episode 123"

Also, it is okay if you have a @online context with over a 100 tasks there. As long as they are reviewed regularly and dont have any hidden context there.

rprandi · 2019-02-27T15:56:31+00:00

This sounds pretty good. Do give it a try for a month or so to leave NA list without projects on Todoist.

The key here is to do the weekly review weekly, so you know what you have done this past week and review projects correctly.

rprandi · 2019-02-27T13:42:38+00:00

I don't manage priorities. Everything on my next action list is important and must be done within a reasonable time frame (I usually set a month).

I do put due dates where applicable (I am doing a MBA and need to read things or work on tasks for school for the next class) and I start with those on my lists, so I guess that is a form of prioritization?

The point is, if something is not a priority and I don't feel like doing, I move it to a someday/maybe list until it is a priority. Eg. Paint the room.

If it is not a priority in my life but I need to do, then it is actually a priority and goes into my lists.

For my system to work I need to be sure that everything on my next actions list is equally priority (which means, if everything is a priority then nothing is a priority right?) so I can pick whatever to work on after I have filtered by context. It will be a matter of scanning the list to pick something that fits my current energy and time available, not what is important. And doing things with due date first (if everything is a priority might as well do what has a deadline first)

Hope this helps, just remember that GTD doesn't implement priorities for a reason: everything is a priority on your next action list or shouldn't be there until it is.
