You cannot know you are GND: Getting Nothing Done (tm) if you do not know what things you are not doing.
But don't sweat it! GND supports members in this Projaction(tm)* by providing a time-tested, easy, deadline-free New Year's Resolution Method (tm). Similar to a sub project plan in the GTD system, the GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm) provides members with the exact steps (the dreaded Next Actions) they need to take to have New Year's resolutions.
Unlike GTD, GND creates the plan for you. No need to decide next actions, write them down and do them, with the GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm), resolutions practically set themselves.
Want to see how easy it is to set your resolutions using the GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm)? Well, through a special licensing agreement with the parent company, here's how:
GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm)
1. While on Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Gleamd, your friend's blog about her cat or other online media, minimize all open browser windows or tabs.
2. Open the word processing program you use when necessary.
3. Pick "File--Open" or whatever your program uses to access an existing file.
4. Scroll down to find the file named "New Year's Resolutions 2007". (If your files have somehow ended up in date order, the document should be dated anywhere from January 3rd to August 15th 2007).
5. Open the file
6. Scan briefly to confirm you GND in 2007.**
7. Pick "Edit--Find and Replace" or however your word processing program does that function.
8. In the box marked "Find" type "2007" (do not include quotation marks)
9. In the box marked "Replace" type "2008" (do not include quotation marks)
10. Hit "Enter" or click on "OK" or what have you
11. Pick "File--Save As"
12. Enter "New Year's Resolutions 2008" (do not include quotation marks unless you want to or forget not to).
13. Repeat step 10
You have almost completed the GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm).
14. Close the word processing software and maximize your browser windows.
15. Voila! You have completed your New Year's Resolutions.
Congratulations! You can return to Getting Nothing Done (tm).
Merry Christmas and happy GND (tm) in 2008!
Notes:
*Projaction (tm): New classification for 2008! Is it a project? A next action? It no longer matters with the GND: Getting Nothing Done process. Just call it a "Projaction" until you feel like looking at it again. The Projaction (tm) add-on will be available from franchisees probably in February or March.
**GTD Warning: If you discover that you GTD in 2007, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Exit the software and e-mail the GND Lukewarm Line and include your credit card. GND will eventually send you the Remedial GND New Year's Resolution Method (tm) for only $29.50.
We rarely check the comments but post one if you have to do nothing.

You know, if you are really going to get nothing done, then you should do it right with a strategic life plan from QuickPlanner Plus!
Wow! With this method, I can complete my resolutions in half the time, which frees up more time for GND.
That's making my GND skills twice as efficient, without disturbing my real-world productivity. It's the advice I've been waiting for, that I hope to implement. Eventually. Thanks!
