I only started reading your blog after it appeared in an entry at boingboing - even your overview seemed like the answer to my prayers, and I’ve been following avidly since.

I got the book on Tuesday, and am busy implementing workflow tips now. I too was starting to trip up defining actions that were more like projects. Today I was finishing reading the book and the ‘light I came on’ - I realised that you need to consistently define projects by their outcome - it really helps keep separation from the actions.

I have an assignment to finish. Earlier today my outline headers read eg “Finish Cert-Ed” & “Produce 3000 word assignment”. They now read “Bask in the glorious achievement of qualifying for a professional academic qualification” and “My curriculum assignment has been completed, printed, and handed in for review”.

Once I changed my focus to the outcomes, the actions flowed through as easy as anything…

I’ve been using Life Balance this last few days, and am relishing the flow of thought that is starting to come through. My ‘Mind like water’ was more of a ‘Mind of Mango Chutney’ this time last week!

Anyway, back to it - I have an assignment and portfolio to complete! Great work mate - please keep it up.
