Why GTD is good for Anger Management

One of my courses in Metaphysical Sciences is Anger Management. 

I found it interesting that Jones, in Overcoming Anger (2004) confirms David Allen's assertion that prioritizing tasks and getting the information out of your head can help alleviate stress. I like his method for prioritizing things. If you have been wondering how to prioritize your tasks, I can highly recommend this method.

Jones suggests an organization of tasks into the following, updated frequently:  

1. Critical things. Things that must be done immediately in order to forego serious consequences.  

2. Soon to be Critical Things. Not yet in category #1, but of a nature that they will become so if not soon  

dealt with.  

3. Normal things. Items like monthly bill paying, cleaning, that may eventually end up in #2.  

4. Unimportant things. Items that will never become critical.  

Though the simplicity of this list almost invites dismissal, to those suffering from anger problems the day‐to‐ day functioning within an arena of multitasking environments can be a critical factor in elevating stress and  invoking the anger reflex. Like journaling, getting items on paper metaphorically gets them “out of us,” or “out of our  head”  which,  in  the  case  of  person  struggling  with  anger,  relieves  some  of  the  pressure  in  mind  cluttered with  irrational  emotions.  particular  side  benefit  is  that  it  may  help  to  differentiate  (for  the  patient)  any confusion  about  wants  or  desires,  separating  and  clarifying  our  own  wants  and  desires  from  the  expectations  of others,  as  well  as  removing  non‐critical  items  from  stressful  mental  pressure  of  things  that  need  to  be  accomplished.

Of course Daylite has 5 levels of Priority. I would use the 5th level for completely trivial things.

MacAngel News 6/18/08 - New Video Available & Next Webinar - Daylite Maintenance

Daylite 3.7.4 public beta

A word about public beta's.

I don't recommend you use any beta software on a "production" database. Production means any database that you use for the production or maintenance of your income.

HOWEVER: If you have a good backup plan in place and know how to recover in the event of catastrophic failure, then by all means, go ahead. Here is a link.
