A note about the second rule: "Break everything into small chunks". This in itself can be a very demotivating task if you do not realize that you don't have to decide on all the chunks in advance. From GTD I learned that you only have to decide what the next chunk will be for a particular project, not all of them.
- mcobrien 17y agoI like to have a few (maybe 5-10) chunks ready so I can pick up my laptop and start working any time, and not have to decide what to do next. This helps when I'm low on energy - I just pick something easy from my list and I can still make progress. But you're completely right: planning everything in detail at the start would be suicide (at least for me).
