Stress-free productivity does exist

In this post I will discuss some productive habits that are not strictly GTD, but that, either underlie its general approach or can be complementary and highly useful in certain circumstances. All of them are related to the perspective or vertical approach of GTD.

One of the things I like about GTD is that it can be seen as a simple project management methodology. There is no contempt at all in that adjective, on the contrary, I think being simple it’s a great virtue. Managing projects—I say this from my own experience—can be really complex and, unless you are a Project Manager, the GTD approach will be more appropriate in most of your projects, especially if they are personal.

Being proactive means taking responsibility for your life and actions rather than just watching how things happen.
