Open Loops 6/2/2009: Articles I Think Worth Passing Along

Tuesdays are open loop at SimpleProductivity blog.
If life is seeming dull or a never-ending succession of tasks, take a look at ThinkSimpleNow’s “How to Find Beauty in Life“. It’s a good analysis of being present and tips on living in the moment.
WHAKATE has a great article: “The Best of GTD and DIT“. It summarizes both systems and talks about the best of both together.
OrganizeIt asks, “Are You Like Half-A-Job Bob?” You know, a person who never finishes anything. It is pointed out, quite rightly, that “Anything that is incomplete will take up a little bit of your brain, a little bit of your mental energy. ” Tidy away the loose ends to reclaim your brain!
The Lending Club talks about “Work-Life Balance Takes a Hit“. I’ve seen it all over the place…people are not taking the time off they have earned, and employers are cracking down on non-traditional work arrangements. Some of my fellow employees who work remotely are making an effort to be in the office more so that their contributions are noticed. It’s a scary place to be.
Craving Balance wrote up an excerpt in “Quite Possibly the Best Article (and book) on Work-Life Balance Ever” of an article from the Globe And Mail. I couldn’t get to the original article, but this excerpt is very powerful as a guide to making decisions. I suspect that the 10-10-10 rule could be applied to other areas than your career…

Thanks for the mention! I really love organizeit’s comments too. Same practice goes for dangling relationships, apologies and forgiveness…clears the space for what you really want to focus on.
You have inspired me to think about two other things I have not thought of before — apologies and forgiveness. I did a clearing out of relationships a few years ago, but I believe there are a few more on their way out the door.
