Single Tasking is Hard To Do

Doing one thing at a time. It’s a nice concept and may seem easy, but I guess it depends on how you handle things. I know it works. I know the sense of accomplishment that comes with actually finishing something. But that does not stop me from getting caught in the whirlwind of multitasking.

The computer is a mind trapping machine. I bounce from thought to thought, task to task, until I get about 50 things half done and nothing completed. When I do a lot at once, I make myself look like I am getting a lot of work done. Until I’m done. And then it looks like I delegated to a crack head.

Zen to Done – GTD as modified by Leo Babauta

I am a GTD covert. I thought it was a new thing until I read the book. But it doesn’t quite fit everyone’s tastes. For one, I have no one to delegate to currently and when I do it will probably be through the internet where it will automatically be placed on a "Waiting For" list. Another thing is I have things that need done daily. Do I just erase and rewrite my first actions list every day or is there a better way. I am not the office type. I have an office but my backpack qualifies as an office than my desk.
