I wrote a couple of short articles earlier this year about long lists (aka catch-all lists):
My theory is that a properly handled and practised list removes the need for prioritization, goal-setting, planning and deadline-chasing.
The Natural Selection of Tasks
There is no such thing as procrastination. What we call “procrastination” is just our minds working through the selection process.
Since then I’ve been doing an enormous amount of work on this subject, and I’m going to be writing a series of articles on the results. These might become the basis for a book. The first one should be up soon.
In the meantime I recommend reading or re-reading the two short articles above to set the scene.
