Now, let's review some basic GTD precepts. I'm not going to précis the book here, just summarise a few basic points to remember while setting up our stack.





1. Collect everything in your inbox for processing.
   
2. The calendar is your "hard landscape": if something must be done on a certain day, then mark it down for that day.
   
3. Day-to-day tasks get marked down in Next Actions (or NA) lists. These should be short, doable tasks, to be done as soon as possible. I keep mine to 15 minutes or less. People often divide these into various contexts, say @Calls, @Errands, @Office, @Home, @Project One, and so on.
   
4. Items that you've delegated, or for which you're awaiting a response, get put in Waiting For (or WF) lists. Again, these can be contextualised, such as @Office or @Home.
   
5. Agendas are for those items that --when chatting with a particular person or attending a meeting-- you'd like to address. You might have one for your boss, another for your landlord, and another for the staff meeting.
   
6. Tasks or projects that you might like to do at some point in the indeterminate future get put in a Someday/Maybe (or S/M) list.
   
7. Ongoing projects are kept separately from the immediate day-to-day items in the NA or WF lists, but are used to populate these lists. This might be a report to be written, a series of home renovations, or a vacation to set up.
   
8. References (for our discussion here, at least) are those things which don't fit into the immediacy of the above, and are there for occasional lookups or use. Examples are important contact numbers, shopping lists, read/review items, and exercise charts.

Vegans sometimes argue that during the bulk of the evolutionary history of hominids vegetables were the primarily or only source of food. That seems to be true of many hominids, but it is not true of humans or even chimpanzees and baboons. Up until about 2-3 million years ago, hominids did feed mostly on plants.

Note where A. boisei and A. robustus split from the human branch of the hominid family; about 2.5 million years ago when humans began eating meat. Boisei and Robustus were vegetarians. They are gone, a dead end in the hominid family.

Dental isotopes of Neanderthals show them to be just below the wolf in their carnivory. Almost obligatory carnivores. Neanderthals passed from the scene about 35,000 years ago. Cro Magnon (homo sapiens sapiens) dentition reveals just less than this level of carnivory, and they are the predecessors to us all.

In Evolution and Nutrition, Crawford argues that the human brain requires more fatty acids (EPA and DHA in particular) than can be produced by a human consuming only plants. We, and other carnivores, rely upon other animals as a source of these brain-essential fatty acids. (Children raised on very low fat diets may have diminished brain development.)

Aiello argues that humans traded stomach tissue for brain tissue. Both tissues metabolize energy at about the same rate. When the human stomach diminished because we had access to high density nutrients and fatty acids in the tissues of prey, the metabolic costs of some stomach tissue could be allocated to brain tissue. This is the expensive tissue hypothesis.

Does that mean you can't be a vegan? Of course not, many are. There also are many vegan dropouts with sad stories to tell. Remarkably, I have been told by vegan students that potato chips are an acceptable food and they consume them avidly. Its your choice, but you have to be sophisticated to be a well-nourished vegan.

Our vegetables today are not as nutritious as when our ancestors consumed them, so that presents problems. On the other hand, the meat we usually buy is far from what our ancestors ate too. Too much saturated fat, trans fats, hormones, and antibiotics.

Hard choices.
