David makes a great point: procrastinating isn’t necessarily getting nothing done, but is more about feeling bad that you’re not doing the best thing right now. This really made me think about something I didn’t get out of reading GTD: namely, how to decide what’s most important and get that done! That aspect of getting things done was lacking or underemphasized in the book. David seems to think that we’ll “just know” what’s best to do. It seems that this is the key to stopping procrastination, namely avoiding it altogether by planning ahead. I think the stuff from Stephen Covey (First Things First, Seven Habits, ABC 123 prioritizing) might be more helpful to stop procrastinating than GTD… I’d be interested in opinions.
