You are right, GTD ideally should be prevention rather than cure, but it is nice to know it works as a cure too. I am still blushing a bit at this over-the-top praise for me from the gtdtimes editor. I guess if I am a good example for anyone, it is probably just for modeling persistence rather than skill :) Rather like Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke who keeps getting back up after getting punched down. Venkat Touche Tina!

However, I can't help but wonder how someone who seems to be a blackbelt in GTD was caught unprepared for so many things: from not packing needed things to missing / forgetting meetings. I am glad GTD disciplines made a bad day good but it seems, ideally, GTD should have helped prevent the bad day (be more prepared). I enjoyed the article. It was very entertaining. Thank you!
