Deciding What To Do Next

When you stare at your list of next actions, how do you decide what you should do first? I asked David Allen that question and he gave me a response that will guide me forever.

How do you decide? I'd love to hear your ideas.

In appropriate GTD reciprocity to your good GTD post:

Beginning with life's Intrinsic and Extrinsic [Internal-&-External] realities:

By having only five 'all-encompassing' worthy Areas of Focus for consideration / to consider


ABCs' in regards to Next Actions in particular:
Always Be Completing Next Actions . . . as slowly, 'smally', and strategically as possible which prevents perfection to be the enemy of the good

As you see GTD fit. . . .

Ps. Might add/subtract . . . 'eat my post' . . . after seeing YouTube . . . all good . . . thank you very much

A very good GTD interview with the GTD Maestro himself

How so ?

Good question

GTD appropriately understood is very GTD freeing/liberating for the mind, body, and soul for choosing what one chooses to do or postpone doing so long as it is self-evidently clear in having everything out of one's memory and appropriately deposited and organized as best as possible in their very own personal GTD system

Thank you very much GTD gentlemen
