note to self re SG fic

[kaylarudbek]

Okay, so reading David Allen's Getting Things Done seems to be a good idea, and it feels really really good when I manage to put another thing down on the projects list (I can actually feel my head clearing when I manage to get enough out of it), but why do you (creative muse part) insist that I should write Mary-Sue self-insertion Stargate fic? Even if McKay is some of my undergraduate classmates squared. And Sheppard is another subset of my undergraduate classmates squared.

GTD babble...

I *love* GTD!

Did you know that there is a customizable electronic GTD wiki? There's also the vanilla brand electronic also.

The 43 Folders main site is pretty awesome too.

Oh, and if like me, you've gotten fed up with systems like FranklinQuest, but you'd prefer paper to electrons, check out the Hipster PDA. You can print out any/all of the organizational pages that you need (GTD is supposed) whenever you want/need them, in whatever format you want (3x5, 4x6, 5x8, 8.5x11, etc.)

:-)

Psst...to help with that Stargate fic, over at the DIY Hipster site, there is even a Plot Pack for story planning. ::veg::

RE: GTD (see how quick I pick up the "lingo" - oooh!)

Is it really worth it? I bought it months ago on a whim but with great intentions of reading it before work started. So much for great intentions. Now it's one of those catch-22s: If I take the time to read the organizational book, I will be too far behind to be able to get organized. *sigh* Remind me again why law school seemed like a good idea at the time?

BTW - if I don't get out of patent litigation soon, I am going to go stark raving mad! I'm thinking of begging to be put into the transactional part of the group. Any advice on this?

I think that it is worth it -- I have not yet put "the program" into effect, merely started to write out projects, but I find even doing that is a great help. I think that this is a book to be read & reread -- I've read it once so far & plan on rereading it again this week to let it sink in a bit before I screw my courage up and begin to get with the program.

Why is litigation driving you nuts? In terms of getting put into transactional, I think asking for the work would be fine -- you may want to present it first as "getting more well-rounded" if you think they'd be reluctant to give you the work otherwise....

P.S. Although, I have no experience in BIGLAW -- my firm is odd in that I have to continually and constantly go out and ask for work from the senior associates. I have no previous experience in a law firm, but it seems to me that the work should be finding me, rather than the other way around...
