The clip — once unfurled — will swing as you will it. Visualize it moving back to front, side to side, or in a circle, and it will do so. Then once you’ve got it going, tell yourself that such a thing isn’t possible and the clip will stop moving. It’s a test of how you’re nerves and muscles are hard wired to your beliefs, desires, imagination, will, etc.

Please help me with the paper clip. I attended the Atlanta Road Map and had to leave 45 mins early to catch my flight.

GTD is all about life simplification. Like or not, life is full of messy details. However you choose to keep them from taking control of you is your business. For me, the mere act of carrying around 3×5 cards and a Space Pen is enough to induce serenity. Your results may vary.

While I understand the inner feeling to do more in ones business and personal life, it seems to me to be a symptom of late 20th and 21st Century living. Personally, I am moving in the opposite direction and learning to do less which has absolutely already begun to make me a happier and calmer person. To me the idea of ‘Maximum Achievement’ alone leaves me breathless. It seems far more important (especially those of us that have hit the half century mark), to slow down and re-evaluate the pressures (internally and externally) that cause us to want to the impossible goal of ‘Maximum Achievement’ and ‘Winning.’ Losing and less achievement are not bad things if they leave you living a calmer and more self aware life. And no, I don’t smoke pot anymore either. Just my dos centavos amigo! All my best…

I found Brian Tracy’s Maximum Achievement to be very useful. Does wonders to balance the curmudgeon into something more enjoyable.
