…how do you decide what to do at any given point?… trust your heart. Or your spirit. Or… your gut, the seat of your pants, your liver, your intuition – whatever works for you…

One of the best ways to increase your energy is to close some of your loops. So always be sure to have some easy loops to close, right at hand.

…one of the best reasons for having very clean edges to your personal management system: it makes it easy to continue productive activity when you’re not in top form.

…people are actually more comfortable dealing with surprises and crises than they are taking control of processing, organizing, reviewing, and assessing that part of their work that is not as self-evident.

If you let yourself get caught up in the urgency of the moment, without feeling comfortable about what you’re not dealing with, the result ifs frustration and anxiety.

If you know what you’re doing and what you’re not doing, surprises are just another opportunity to be flexible and creative, and to excel.

People often complain about the interruptions that prevent them from doing their work. But interruptions are unavoidable in life.

If you have established practices for parking still-incomplete items midstream… your focus can shift cleanly from one to the next and back again…

…if you’re not catching up and getting things under control, staying busy with only the work at hand will undermine your effectiveness.

Getting things done, and feeling good about it, means being willing to recognize, acknowledge, and appropriately engage with all the things within the ecosystem of your consciousness.
