Get Everything Done

Sounds remarkably like the instructions for the Current Initiative in my book "Do It Tomorrow "

Erik:

<< But he did it after having way too many followers posters to be of any help responding to comments...>>

There is a _simple_ answer to that problem - make posting from members only and restrict the number of members.

<< Now when you have designed the perfect system, things may get boring when we all go off and actually use it to become productive. >>

Does that mean you won't want to be part of my world domination project?

<< possibly when outstrips the psychological and physical resources we have. >>

My own view is that a good TM system extends our psychological resources (and probaby the physical ones too if we include exercise among our tasks) in the same way that a complex system like a motor car extends our physical ability to transport ourselves.

Having read all this discussion and responded to a lot of it I'm actually wondering whether Leo isn't confusing "simplicity" with "freedom". The concept of freedom has been a very important part of my own development.

There's a lot about how perceptions of freedom affect goals in Halvorson's "Succeed" which we had a thread on a couple of weeks ago.

Best of luck in your quest. I'll try to remember to send you an email when the new system is finally published - you should be about ready for another dose by then!
