Recommended to me by pjeby, this is the most CfAR-ey personal productivity book that I’ve read. I would recommend it over GTD, as it incorporates many of the same insights into IMO a better overall system.
What about if your workday problems aren’t “I have too many incoming emails and routine tasks to handle, I need to organize and prioritize things somehow” but “I need to design a robust technical system out of nothing and it needs to match our problem and be good enough not to get us into the trouble down the road and I’m having lots of trouble fitting the entire problem and the requirements from the existing system in my head” or “I need to figure out enough about a new technical field in a month that I can incorporate ideas from it into my paper and have it pass peer review and I have no idea what’s going on with it”?
I’ve found it difficult to apply GTD style systems to the sort of problems where most of the initial difficulty is understanding the problem to begin with.
