Great tips…one I need to keep remembering is this…
“remove bottom off chair, walk around a bit, go for a series of all over body stretches every couple of hours”….I gfind if I don’t I don’t leave my chair for 12 hours then wonder why I’m as stiff as a board all evening!

I love your tips, in particular the 9-11 am without interruptions. In my world, that’s less possible because I work in an office and I don’t have a door I can close. However, I start my day by making a list of all the things I’d love to get done. I usually have the 2-3 most important/critical tasks at the top and then a laundry list of minor things all the way down.

I tried using computerized tasks lists and I found that I deal better with lists written on paper – they register differently in my brain. I also like drawing little square boxes by each task. It’s very rewarding to actually check things off as you get them done.

Thanks Percy, that’s useful! I’ve signed up to Mark’s newsletter/beta test so there’ll hopefully be an opportunity to have a poke around Autofocus

Thanks for the post. I came here via Scott Berkun's blog and I just posted a comment there about a new time management system (by Mark Forster) called Autofocus. I wasn't sure if you would be following that blog post's comments, so I wanted to post the link ( New Developments: Testers Wanted ) here. Since you mentioned giving up on GTD, I thought that you may find the system worth checking out.
