Hi Meg. I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful and generous resource these videos provide. I'd love to participate in personal coaching, but your guidance here is so helpful for those of us who just don't have it in the budget. Thanks again, and all the best to you and your family during this time of transition.
Thanks, Meg. How do the areas of focus and responsibility relate to the higher horizons? I'm not familar with the language, so it can be confusing. I would like some of your videos to be directed toward people who have not started a GTD system yet. They would be videos on how to get started with GTD from the VERY beginning. For example, I do not have the equipment, supplies, furniture, and physical space I need. I feel overwhelmed about how to manage this. Some of us did not learn how to plan, and it can be terrifying.
Thanks Nancy for your feedback and we can certainly work on creating some video for people who are just starting out with GTD. The Areas of Focus horizon is the bridge level to go up and down the horizons. For example, Your Home is an area of focus and from Home you can have projects and actions re: your Home. But you might also have goals and a vision for your home as well. You might or might not have a goal or vision or even a purpose for your home but if you do you can add what you want to on these lists as well. I hope that helps. Meg
@@megedwards5136 Yes, thanks. Your words inspired me to look up areas of focus, but that's not in the book (updated edition of GTD). Then I looked up Higher Horizons, nothing, but then I did find Horizons of Focus. Ground Level: current actions Horizon 1: current projects Horizon 2: areas of focus and responsibility (key life areas) Horizon 3: goals (what I want in life for next couple of years, near future) Horizon 4: vision (what I want in life longer range, 3 to 5 years in future) Horizon 5: purpose and principles (what really matters to me and why) I can see how Horizon 2 could be a bridge level that can shuttle between what I'm actually doing and what I care about, and that's very interesting.
Perfect - start of the year reminder to scan the horizons more regularly.
