Get Everything Done

Gross appears to be an investor of some kind; I don't know him or his background. But this post swam up from the depths:

It's a fairly short post; he suggests skipping midway to the subhead "To Dos". As I read it, I was mentally comparing his theory and method to Mark's theories and methods. I can understand his reasoning, but I'm not sure if it mirrors my thought processes or not.

His last line is "...I try to make my actual work appear as interesting as a new idea by minimizing the cognitive state buildup I have until I am ready to fully accomplish the task at hand." That is, don't engage with a task until he's ready to fully devote his full thinking and awareness to it.

He does not mention the subconscious or how tasks are brewing/composting in the bandwidth of our subconscious; his focus seems to be that tasks only exist or are being worked on when he is *consciously* engaged with them. That strikes me as a major difference to Mark's theories, if I'm reading this right.

Read this article just as I was trying out using a schedule, calendar, rather than lists. That’s the trouble with a “plan”, lack of inspiration. Thanks for link Mike.
