Comments on: 3 ways to Join the Tweekly Review! http://www.gtdtimes.com/2009/05/28/3-ways-to-join-the-tweekly-review/ The Hub for All Things GTD Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:27:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sandy http://www.gtdtimes.com/2009/05/28/3-ways-to-join-the-tweekly-review/comment-page-2/#comment-2490 Sandy Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:30:11 +0000 http://www.gtdtimes.com/?p=1598#comment-2490 This was very helpful. For me it demonstrated the value of getting through the whole weekly review process, and not spending too much time on the initial capture stage. Having a "bell" go off and moving on to the meatier part of the review was key and is something I plan to do on my own. Thanks for the coaching! This was very helpful.

Would be great to have a list of these tweets so I can get an idea of how to do the weekly review.

Priorities and all that. But I did screen captures of your timeline and will try it on my own, pretending to be keeping up with your tweets as I move through it. If you want to publish the tweets as a list with the times (so we get the idea of how quickly to move through this process) that would be great. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing. I feel very energized and creative. It really helps to have so many people commenting. It just triggers more ideas than staring at a checklist yourself. I suppose being a coach to yourself is just very very difficult. I also noticed i need to add an additional processing because of all the ideas generated by the review. Loved it. Absolutely amazing.

It was like having my own coach. If my e-mail inbox was a lot less "zero" I would have cruised along in step. I more just followed for the fun of it to see what techniques/tips I could glean. I have so many projects I doubt I could even acknowledge them all by name in 5 minutes! Thanks though. It was fun to be a part of GTD synchronized with everyone else.

Thu, 28 May 2009 19:17:09 +0000 http://www.gtdtimes.com/?p=1598#comment-2462 Kelly, this was a great experience. I especially liked the coaching tips that you tweeted partway through each 5-minute interval. It would be terrific if this could be repeated a few more times to allow people to get the mechanics down. Alternatively, if it were done monthly that would be very helpful too. Participating in this Tweekly Review reminds me of watching a sports event live, versus a recording. It is much easier to focus and become absorbed in the activity when you know many other people are doing it too. Kelly, this was a great experience.

I had an idea of a way to self-implement that in coach mode. Create a set of web pages that could be downloaded into a zip file, local use. Include small sound file (just a ping-like sound) and use meta-refresh to refresh the page after a certain interval (5 mins? 10 mins?), and this can be used to help coach a person along on the desktop... with the same kidn of time limit. real tricky: have a javascript or something input where person can input the #mins/step 5, 10 or whatever... and then use that as basis for metarefresh. I'd do it myself, but I have so many other things to work on. So I decided to "delegate" it to you if you thought it's a decent idea? Anyway, thanks again for all that. wasn't as hard as I thought.... But I need to do the first steps all over again, but longer. :) Most excellent.

It was a bit hard to utilize the five minute steps as a real weekly review. But much more valuable and amazing was reading everyone's tweets during this whole process! I was sitting here, totally relaxed, observing TweetDeck as if it was a TV-show. Turned out to be the best show I've seen in weeks! Like to see some new episodes! Thanks again!

Immense help, I think I was trying to make the review more complicated than it needed to be. Plan on applying these steps and hints to my normal weekly review (Sunday mornings, early) and expect to see some real progress. Maybe a monthly repeat, allowing a couple of weeks interval to practice application. Thanks again, Ray Kelly,
