> My biggest problem is just having work thoughts come up

I remember an interview with David Allen of GTD, and he was asked what he had planned for the afternoon, and he said, “I don’t know. I’ll find out then”. At the time, I hadn’t used GTD much, and I thought this was tongue in cheek. Years later I realized he was dead serious.

The big win of GTD (or similar) is not a Swiss Army knife of task management. The big win is returning mental bandwidth to you.



What does GTD mean?

Edit: Getting Things Done (GTD) for anyone unaware like me.

Pro writing tip: first write out the words of an acronym before defining it like I did above or the reader will be confused.
