I will soon be finishing my time here at the American home and with that in mind I’ve been looking at what I will do with my life in general in Kuwait. I’ve been looking at ways to start fresh with how I organize and motivate myself. I spend a large part of my free time here looking up ways to make money online, start a business from the comfort of my laptop, hack life, and cool and new things I can try in my life.

One thing I have found over and over again is GTD. Getting things done (or Getting to Done) is a book with a cult following about how to organize your life. The main idea is to put your tasks down on paper, post-it notes, computers, parchment, slabs of rock so that your mind isn’t worried about scheduling and can focus on working. It is just a hyped up in and outbox system that worked for some guy and might work for you. The system has weird aspects like 43 folders for each calendar day and month, and wikis with tons of GTD info.

I do want a nice clean system for deciding what I’ll do, and when how I’ll do it, but developing a system is actually a lot of work. I want my great work in life to be something that isn’t how to organize your life to do great things. Lots of people have had systems to organize every aspect, but they take lots of work. I’ve only recently adopted To-Do lists on my computer, not because I can’t remember, but to visualize what I do.

How do you organize your life? Would you start again with something new and organized down to the details, or do you like having everything uncertain in your life. What do you think I should do to organize me in Kuwait?
