How Fine Grained Should Your To-Do List Be? [The 4-Hour Workweek Journal]
In Getting Things Done, Dave Allen suggests that we must always be working from lists of actionable tasks. The “actionable” part is a powerful distinction.

GTD Cafe: A School for Getting Things Done [Productivity in Context]
Today’s post is from Mike St. Pierre of The Daily Saint.
