One of my wife's complaints about me has always been that even though I'm really smart, I never seemed to apply that to getting my shit done.
What could I say? It was true.
But one thing I got from GTD was how to think about it. It's all very well to be a top UI designer, but now I think about all this in terms of reducing friction.
So on that note, I'm off to buy some Fisher Space Pens, because one of my GTD techniques has been to make my own note pads of index cards plus binder clips. I have some in strategic locations in the house, and I carry some with me so I can make notes. But it's annoying to have to carry the pen. Some of the other GTD folks made the point that Fisher Space pens are compact when closed, and can write in any position, etc.
Plus they're not really that expensive.
But the insight I had today is that I'm quite capable of figuring out how to reduce the friction in my life, once I think about it that way.
