Maybe you've already known about it, I learned quite a bit from the GTD (Getting Thing Done) concept. My problem is not with a lazy body but with a curios mind. If you are like me, I found that what I am weak at is performing the scanning routine in the GTD guide. The scanning process force me to perform the evaluation of all the tasks need to be performed, and others(priority, important, etc) fall into place naturally. There are tips in GTD too. I am yet to implement it into a physical system as I am resisting systems that need electricity, yet paper-based ones I found is not so friendly. Any recommendation?
