College is a unique experience for us all. I never have been so challenged before in my life with taking care of myself, my school work, and trying to live a somewhat balanced life. But let me be honest here:I don't live a balanced life. Sometimes I end up staying up for no reason, and then in the morning I'm so tired, I'm barely staying awake in class. You can probably guess that I'm that girl in your classes who runs in barely on time with wet hair. This past month, I have paid a lot more for convenience for things because I was in a hurry and too disorganized to even worry about my budget. Procrastination kills me in school, and now in my finances. For example, I was about to be late on paying my eletric bill and I paid online with a $5 charge, rather than my $1 processing fee I normally paid.
Frustrated by all of these problems, I have searched for ways that I could make some changes to my life, and I found the "Getting Things Done" system. This is an action plan that involves a workflow process to help us record our own tasks externally, so we can focus on our actions rather than the task itself. This system is amazing! It has some really great fanatics around. Through my procrastination on the computer, I have slowly become a fanatic as well!
I admit, I haven't read the book, I've been trying to understand the system without the book by reading blogs about the GTD system. Being the frugal person I am, I already found it at my university library and put in a request for it.
