We count work projects, home projects, even side projects. But we forget that being sick displaces just as much time and energy. It’s a project we don’t want, but one we have nonetheless.
I remember an interview that David Allen did years ago with a man who had just learned GTD, and was diagnosed with a very serious, potentially fatal illness. He decided to put what he had learned to the test by making "recovery from my illness" his first big project. This story had a double happy ending: using a project approach worked really well, and his treatment worked.
Years ago, David Allen had an interview with a man who had recently learned about GTD and had been diagnosed with a very terrible illness that could be fatal. I recall this conversation.
Brilliant reframing—treating illness as a full-fledged project validates the energy it demands and helps prevent burnout. Recognizing the three phases empowers better pacing, boundaries, and recovery. A vital mindset shift. https://www.e-zpassfl.com
very convenient timing to read this :) I'm traveling in Peru, and was just diagnosed with a parasite I picked up here. Not feeling so hot, and somewhere between phase 2 and 3! Trying to be sure to give myself grace.
You are so right!
