GTD is Not Doing and the Future of Hanami Design
Hanami Design is about my work as a designer and what I’m doing to become better. Part of that is being organized and able to handle a heavy workload.
I’ve been a fan of the Getting Things Done system for a few years now and this system has made it possible for me to get a good grip on my day to day projects and long term goals. Only lately do I feel I’m beginning to see how much I can really do.
However for my design career, this isn’t enough.
GTD doesn’t make us better, we do. It’s a set of tools for getting free, not being free. All that time spent trying to get things organized the way the book says doesn’t equal doing anything. It’s a battle plan without a battle. You must act. You must design.
So a renewed emphasis on design and related skills is where I’ll be putting much of my blogging energy now. User interface design, usability, color theory – experiments and resources for these and more.
This is a head’s up for the future of my posts: just as much on productivity strategies for designers, but much more on actual design.
Weszt, wise words on GTD. I’ve learned a lot from your GTD and Evernote posts. This has saved me a lot of time.
I wish you all the best with your design blog posts and thanks again for sharing your excellent GTD posts.
Robert, thank you once again.
I’ve got many more posts in the works and I hope they are just as helpful.
