>>I think the world is very random, practically speaking, but that probably distributions are highly mutable. I found that decisions I previously made set me up for higher likelihood of being chosen for subsequent opportunities. Indeed. That quote from Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' - Opportunities multiply as they are seized. One the great things about the GTD system is to make you arrive at the exponentially increasing opportunity trees. Once you act on something, think about the next task(s), when you finish them, think about the next- ad infinitum. Prune the tree every weekend based on your larger goals. A few weeks to months of this you will have enough opportunities opening up for you which were previous invisible, and way out of your sight.
