Without that one some weeks would be complete failures...oops bad word. But with the do-over, you can still finish strong! Regarding your "waste of time" comment, I always keep a little postit on my computer that says "Is this the most productive use of my time right now?" It helps keep me on track except for the times I ignore it! :) @ Matthew - thank you. I certainly modify the GTD approach myself. So for me, it is helpful to have a basic outline of my week and my tasks I want to get done. So is it better? For me, yes because I "capture" from my mind the worry about which one of my million tasks will I work on this week. It's not perfect, but it helps. Life, by default, is messy. These systems and routines keep us on track through the muddy roads of life. Planning gives us hope and having a weekly roadmap gives me focus. Thanks for asking!

I like your focus on planning - always a good idea. I found it interesting that you have readers schedule all actions ("tasks"). Do you think this is better than the GTD approach?

The one comment however that I found most powerful is number ten, the mid-week start over. As an independent consultant I find that I often get distracted. I forget what my business goals are and by the time I realize that I'm spending time on something that is not a true goal I've wasted several hours. Perhaps the most important thing that I want to learn how to do is to say, "This is a waste of my time. Move on!!" Thanks for the post. I agree with your comments.

I've been working much more independently these last few months, and have been struck by how difficult it is (for me at least) to organize my time well without the built-in boundaries of a prescribed work day.
