Episode notes
GTD and Contexts
- GTD emphasizes next actions and contexts, unlike traditional to-do lists.
- This helps differentiate it from simple time management or categorical thinking.
Capture Everything
- Capture everything in your system, even seemingly unimportant tasks.
- Resistance to this is common, but crucial for effective task management.
Problems with Traditional Lists
- Traditional to-do lists mix concrete tasks with large, overwhelming projects.
- This makes prioritization difficult and can lead to procrastination.
