Some things are not important
I am addicted to GTD. Not just because it helps me to get things done, but because it helps me understand what’s not important. And let’s face it, a lot of stuff we initially think is important really isn’t.
For example:
Subscribing to more feeds to stay in the loop. Writing yet another specification document for a project that already has four. Fretting over whether two view options is better than three in the app you are building. Reading every single book on UX. Tweaking the post categories in Wordpress for the eight time - this week.
Breath in. Breath out.
Some things are not important now, and some things never will be.
Embrace that idea and your web business will benefit, and you will likely be a lot happier.
