gtd personal productivity thinking

Do something you love.
Only agree to new commitments when both your head and your heart say yes.

- This serves two purposes.
  
  First, it fuels you up. Study after study have shown that breakfast is, yes, the most important meal of the day. It's critical to properly fuel the body for the day's activities and it's also critical to staying lean or losing weight. (People who don't have breakfast tend to eat more, and worse, at lunch.)
  
  Second, it gives you a chance to calmly, peacefully collect your thoughts and prepare mentally and emotionally for the day ahead.
  
  This works whether you do it with kids and/or a partner, or you're solo.
  
  Personally I think it's worth whatever effort is involved to go to bed early enough to wake up early enough to have a good solid 45 minutes or an hour for breakfast each morning, if you can pull it off.
- But the thing that matters almost more than anything in determining whether I'll have a happy, satisfying day is this: no matter what time you get up, start the day with a real, sit-down breakfast.
- I'm not going to talk a lot about getting up early or going to bed late or anything else related to the course of a typical day, because everyone's different.
- Hide in an IPod.
- Don't answer the phone.
- Third, emails relating to topics that are current working projects or pressing issues go into temporary subfolders of a folder called Action.
- Fourth, aside from those temporary Action subfolders, only keep three standing email folders: Pending, Review, and Vault.
- Second, when doing email, either answer or file every single message until you get to that empty inbox state of grace.
- When you do process email, do it like this:
  
  First, always finish each of your two daily email sessions with a completely empty inbox.
- Do email exactly twice a day
- The other key two-word tactic: Strategic Incompetence.
- Structured Procrastination.
- Then, throughout the rest of the day, use the back of the 3x5 card as your Anti-Todo List.
- Each night before you go to bed, prepare a 3x5 index card with a short list of 3 to 5 things that you will do the next day.
- Keep three and only three lists: a Todo List, a Watch List, and a Later List.
- Want to meet with Arnold? Sure, drop on by. He'll see you if he can. But you might want to call first. Sorry, he doesn't schedule appointments in advance.
- This idea comes from a wonderful book called A Perfect Mess, which explains how not keeping a schedule has been key to Arnold Schwarzenegger's success as a movie star, politician, and businessman over the last 20 years.
- Let's start with a bang: don't keep a schedule.

David Seah : Ok, I’m Inspired! Now What?

blinders productivity work

Perhaps a suggestion would be to take a half hour or an hour to just let yourself be bored (note, not relax, but bored, as that’s where I think additional creativity can really occur). After that has manifested some really interesting projects- pick one and put up the blinders.
Perhaps focus isn’t about willfulness, power, and character after all. It might just be putting on blinders of productivity on the sides of your head so you aren’t distracted, so you get from point A to point B without freaking out.
