Episode notes
Tools vs. Method
- The GTD method, not specific tools, brings stress-free productivity.
- The right tools support the method, like a carpenter needing a good hammer.
Optimal Complexity
- Embrace complexity in your GTD system if it simplifies daily use.
- Use different apps for specific reference materials.
SaneBox for Email
