List it up when you feel uneasy.

When you are in panic, what should you do? Is there any way to get rid of?

List up what you worry about. Not only worry about, but also what you think. It doesn't have anything to distingish what you worry about and what you think. Anyway, list it up, write down.

You can see what you think phisically, on the paper, or on the screen. Generally, you overestimate the problems because you did not see as it was. You only think in your mind so that you think the same problem again and again. You double count your problem and overestimate ammount of problems.

This list up process is one of GTD's, "collect". Write down what you think and sweep your mind, and try to be free, try to forget everything. You have the lists.

When you need to remember what you think, see your list.

GTD is a solution for depression

GTD recommends us to list up what we are worrying about. Depressed person , like me, we are in panic or forget what we want. By listing up them, we can find ourselves and sorroundings, and find our desire, again. Usually, we tend to forget what we want, and only be in panic, and be depression.

Next, GTD recommends us to break down the project to next action. By doing this, it is clear what we should do next. "make report"...no. "call Linda about report". It is much easier to image what we do. We can't do what we can't imagine. Once we imagine what we do, we list it up, and later, as soon as we see the list, we can move without thinking "oh, why should we do such a thing???". Only DO THIS. It is well-disscussed by myself. By doing the task listed up, the project surely goes forward one step. It is the fact. The list takes care of you instead of yourself. It is very convinient and you can feel easy because you don't have to memorise everything. You have all the lists.

Third, GTD puts the way to think about later, pending. By pending, we can control what we should think right now. Some schedule reminds me to think again about the thing. GTD serves three way by processing.
  • Do it
  • Decide to think about it later
  • Through away
It is much better than procastination. I believe.

Based on these points above, I think GTD is a good solution for depression. How about doing GTD, if you are depressed?
