  • The GTD process can help you get one thing done at a time while keeping you focused and doing the actual work. It can also help prioritize what work you should be doing first and how to measure how long the workload is.
  • I thought about how much work I will have today. I also thought about when and how I should finish them.

OPTIONAL EXERCISE – Literally, read the article and go for another walk 🙂
