Uncategorized: don’t dream it. do it.

Posted by Alice Muhling on September 15, 2008 | 1 COMMENT

It’s that time of year when we are all reviewing our goals and New Year’s resolutions to see how many we can tick off the list and which ones need to be reviewed. Steven Covey, author of the well-known book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, tells us that we have to begin with the end in mind. Step one is to set some goals and step two is to put a plan into action. This why the National institute of Dramatic Art’s (NIDA) On Tour motto of, “Don’t Dream It. Do It” caught my eye. Heading to Brisbane from September 22 to October 5, the NIDA On Tour program offers a variety of intensive short courses about acting, design, writing and short filmmaking. Each short course uses a variety of industry insiders as teachers and tutors so participants can get the inside scoop on how to break into their chosen creative industry and what to do when they get there. If you’ve ever dreamed of making a movie, writing a script or working backstage, this is sounds like a great place to get started.

    If you would like to implement some of Stephen Covey’s best ideas, you can use this web aplication:

    http://www.Gtdagenda.com

    You can use it to manage and prioritize your Goals (in each of your life’s categories), projects and tasks, in an intuitive interface. It has a Checklists section, for the repetitive activities you have to do, important but not urgent (Quadrant II, for example your routines/habits). Also, it features a Schedules section and a Calendar, for scheduling you time, activities and for the weekly review.

    Some features from GTD are also present, like Contexts and Next Actions.

    And it’s available on the mobile phone too, so you can access it wherever you are.
