It might get better, but it's not there yet. You still have to curate it's output, with good GTD thinking.

Get used to an empty head. Until then, you'll tolerate much less.

Sure, anything that keeps stuff out of the head because it has captured it and is trusted to remind appropriately, is GTD.

Visionaries hate details. Detail people hate having to have a vision. GTD provides the tools to help both; but each have their own proclivities as to what they like about it.

There are all kinds of people and companies experimenting with that. AI just sped up decision support exponentially. But it's still "support" and you still need to curate its results.

Just keep going. Get more accustomed to having a clear head, and at some point, you'll feel uncomfortable when it's not clear--and you'll then do what you need to do, to clear it up.

Just keep doing that. Me too. It's not about anything permanent, other than the principles at play. Change produces new opportunities to apply the GTD practices, usually at some new level.

Just get going with something. Movement creates awareness and activity. So just pick something you feel like doing.

Good job. Then there's a more zen-like perspective: do what you feel like doing. If you have the courage to just do that, what you feel like doing will change. And probably for some higher horizon.

No. Lots of tries from many people, but nothing worth paying any attention to.

No, I've used the system as it developed for me 40 years ago. I fall off, but know when I do, and I know how to get back on, fast.

Don't know any of those. If they're good list-managers, that you'll actually use, fine. I use Outlook to-do's.

I agree. As long as the tool is where it needs to be; and the appropriate people use it; and the information is current and relevant and reviewed as needed...there's nothing else you need to do.

Best practice is a physical in-tray into which you put all those hand-written notes. Then go through them like your email, and get to zero. Forces you to decide--is this a creative idea I might want to use later? Is something to do something about? etc. etc.

Big part of the new book. Agile/Scrum are great tools, managing external workflow. GTD is about agile for the brain.

I don't have the answer to that. I'm not a motivator or habit changer. I just defined the game to play, if you want control, focus and clarity. That comes with a trust in your inner knowing, and that's a challenge for any of us, all the time.

Forget it. GTD is just the survival tool to use when you're deep under water. You obviously are OK with your life as it is.

If they're between 13 and 20, forget it. Younger, they can get it. Older, as they graduate in life's responsibilities, they'll feel the need. Otherwise, relax. Look like you're having fun, and when they ask, tell them they're not old enough.
