Navigating a Mid-Life Crisis with GTD

In the midst of a mid-life crisis or existential crisis, maintaining some level of organization is crucial. One approach is to map out the horizons to focus, starting with clarifying one's purpose, values, and principles, then setting long-term goals, identifying areas of responsibility, and breaking them down into projects and actionable next steps. By aligning one's actions with their deeper values and goals, individuals can navigate through these challenging periods more effectively.
