INSIGHT

Ambient Anxiety & Appropriate Engagement

  • People are addicted to ambient anxiety, the constant, unnoticed stress of unfulfilled commitments.
  • Appropriate engagement means consciously deciding whether you're okay with the state of each commitment.
ANECDOTE

GTD Rediscovered on Mushrooms

  • Daniel rediscovered GTD principles during a psychedelic mushroom trip.
  • The experience heightened his awareness of unaddressed intentions and the need to capture, clarify, and organize them.
ADVICE

Capture Everything

  • Capture everything that has your attention, whether it's tasks, worries, or ideas, to externalize mental clutter.
  • Write it down, get it out of your head, because your mind isn't an efficient processing center.
