Okay.
I've read the book.
I've read most of the archives at Lifehacker and 43folders.
I've reorganized my references.
I've tossed my office, and put everything relevant in my inbox.
I've done my mindsweep (though I'm certain I've missed things).
I've defined discrete distinct next actions for things.
Projects have been planned vertically.
I've put it all in an external system (kGTD, though, honestly I don't think I like it).
I even got something to carry with me to write on (though I honestly can't see how the hPDA is much different from a memo book. Sure you can rearrange, but it's just supposed to be a quick capture device right?)

....

Now, I'm sitting here looking at all of this. And nothing's changed. I still feel anxious. I know D. Allen said looking at your lists will foster anxiety, and it sure has. I feel as bad as before. It's still at the point where I can't actually do any of the next actions. I look at them and go, "Pbbbbbbbbt." I can't get motivated. Why? I want to see the end product. I want to get things done. I want to be the best. It's like I need a swift kick in the ass. I know I can't be the only one who has experienced this. Minuteur helps, but then I feel forced and uncreative. Any suggestions? I feel poised to begin the race, but I'm glued to the starting blocks.
