The problem when you’re chasing (the right) gurus is, you get a flood of ideas. You have much more ideas, thoughts and aha! moments than time or resource to do them. You know what happens then? Burn out! Fast and furious. I reviewed a few of my Traffic Secrets videos lately and I find myself burning out again! It’s not a problem with the course but more with life or rather my life. So… I thought I better do something about it and get serious with my organization.
Hey I’m no slacker when it comes to organization but since the kids came along everything I ever known about organization is out the window and whatever’s left leaked through the floor boards 
and when I started to learn all these things that are actually making me real money, things changed too. Obviously I need a different kind of organization technique. Something more natural, something more less restrictive to cater for a family oriented life.
So… I bought a product called NoteStudio. It’s a software that has both desktop and palm versions so I can literally enter my data everywhere and yes my PDA goes everywhere with me. Now NoteStudio is not a traditional organization tool in fact it’s more of a WiKi. There is no ’structure’ because you make the structures. The best way to describe this thing is – it’s like building a personal website with pages for your ideas, pages for your to dos, pages for your projects, tracking stuff etc. It take some getting used to and I love it because of it’s unstructured nature. Yet, I wasn’t quite doing things right. Through NoteStudio folks, I was introduced to this whole ‘revolution’ called GTD.
GTD is short of Getting Things Done and is based on the book Getting Things Done by David Allen
Meanwhile, anyone tried GTD?
and this is a bunch of ‘gurus’. Well actually it’s a outsource site www.guru.com and my experience with them is quite an interesting turn of events. When I first started working from home the first inclination was – sell my services and what better way than to freelance. Now this was right around the last legs of the dot com bust era and I was plugged into Guru.com looking for work. Back then all these freelance sites were still free for both employer and freelancer. I even landed my first ever customer there.
