Does something have your attention because you want it to, or because you're avoiding it? - David Allen

"Most people have major leaks in their collection process. Many have collected things but haven't processed or decided what action to take about them. Others make good decisions about "stuff" in the moment but lose the value of that thinking because they don't efficiently organize
the results. Still others have good systems but don't review them consistently enough to keep them functional. Finally, if any one of these links is weak, what someone is likely to choose to do at any point in time may not be the best option."

An overwhelming amount of potential work to do is cool. Otherwise people would never go to a gym.

Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does.
