    Default What's Everyone's Profession?

    What does everyone do for a living?

    I'm a restaurant manager! Always busy! Gotta always, GET THINGS DONE!

    Postmaster in a small town. Sorry, I thought I had replied, was surprised to check back & find I had not. GTD is really helping me keep on top of the paperwork & the other duties I have, especially because I have taken on some projects that take me outside my office.

    Dentist with the military.

    My job may be different. It so often seems that rather than being proactive I must be reactive to what is happening. Too many outside influences seem to adversely affect my ability to "get things done".

    I have two occupations. In the morning In am an Assistant Events Organiser for a pony association. I also run my own embroidery design business, for the rest of the hours in each day.

    I don't know how I would cope without GTD.

    Vaguely described, "IT Specialist".

    In my case it means that to varying degrees I'm a sysadmin, database admin, backup responsible, software developer and support technician. It's a varied job obviously, but sometimes you get stretched just a little too thin.

    I've been getting started on GTD for about a year, and the recent two months have been pretty good - to the level where I actually feel that I'm "doing GTD". Hopefully the higher altitudes of planning will help out with trying to focus ahead a little more on my different areas of responsibility.

    Smile Great Post!!

    I'm a Operational Reporting Manager for a large Australian construction materials supply company. This means I design and manage effective business intelligence reporting from our data warehouse using well known data query and analysis software. I take masses of information and put it into a format that the average sales manager can use to make better sales decisions.

    That all gets a bit much for some, so when they ask me I just tell them that I "work with computers"

    GTD helps me manage the many and varied requests for development of reporting as well as allowing me to focus on promoting projects while still supporting my users.

    Takes a lot of planning I'm sure when your schedule is the way that it is.

    I am a Jr. Escrow Officer. Tough to implement as it is an extremely interruption rich environment. So much of what is do is one quick step after another and there isn't a lot of room for planning.
