B'fast in bed... Kid style; GTD teaching opportunity

Today is the first day of winter vacation for the kids. In true GTD style we will spend some time today brainstorming and capturing ideas. We will use our ubiquitous blank white note cards (aka our portable Think-a-toriums) as our capture tool. We will imagine success. We will create a schedule. We will then let the fun unfold as we move toward our outcomes.

My role in all of this is simply to ask questions, provide encouragement ("high five... That is a super idea!"), and provide transportation (a pretty common next action these in this phase of life!).

In the grand scheme of things this is my on going process for teaching and nurturing the GTD principles with my kids. Planting GTD seeds is great fun. Winter vacation is another teaching-by-doing opportunity.

Have you planted any GTD seeds with your children lately? If yes, I'd love to learn from your examples and share them with our community (Please post them to the comments section).

Any teaching opportunities coming your way?

Wishing you well on your journey. The kids have finished breakfast and it is time to start the capture process! :)
