I was browsing my feeds this evening, basically just chilling on the couch. I read a nice article on the weblog Face-to-Face about the new book of Malcolm Gladwell ‘Blink’. I was already curious about this book, because of his earlier book ‘The tipping point’ and I just got more curious. Because the book deals with decisions we make without thinking. And this got me thinking (no pun intended) about how this relates to Getting Things Done. Since GTD involves a lot of thinking sometimes (processing, reviewing, five phases of planning) I can imagine how you can change your mind while thinking about Next Actions. But is this the right decision then? I haven’t read the book yet, but as I read the editorial review, it seems you make the right decision in the first couple of seconds. So how does longer and more intense thinking about projects (What is the next physical action? How can I move this forward?) change this? Interesting thought. I should read the book first before I talk more about this I guess. Perhaps someone already read the book and has an opinion? I look forward to your comments.
