Well, yes. A little off-topic, but you mentioned it, I use it, and I thank you.

- Five Tasks
- consistent focused effort
- cross-out when you worked on a task and re-enter it if not finished yet
- building routines as the fundamental principle for time management

I think he refers to your blog posts introducing Evernote and how you use it.

Structured procrastination
Psychological readiness
What's Better?
Closed backlog and get on top of incoming work first
Intuitive systems (e.g., No S Diet, last accessed filing) vs overorganized systems (e.g., calorie counting, A-Z filing).

Here are my Top Five:
1 - Standing Out - trust your intuition to guide you in selecting what is to be done next
2 - No List - trusting your intuition even further by relying on it completely to guide your work day-to-day, hour-to-hour
3 - Randomizer - the effectiveness of this system convinced me that most of the effort spent on prioritization is a complete waste
4 - Little and Often - eliminate resistance by giving yourself permission to work as long or as little as you want on any given task - which is another way of trusting your intuition - and at the same time, improve flow by reducing your batch sizes
5 - Current Initiative - focus on one major initiative at a time
And some close Runners-Up:
6 - Manana Principle - capturing all incoming work on tomorrow's page so it's all batched up and ready for you as a Closed List - completing it gives a strong sense of closure
7 - Filing - use a monthly tickler file for general filing; file your projects in LIFO order (just put it on top of the stack) - so much simpler and more effective than any other filing system I've tried
I'm probably missing something... I've learned so much from Mark, his books and blogs, and this forum.
