[...] New episode of the Productivity Show…Doug Fisher is President of Mission Control, a productivity methodology for increasing productivity and reducing stress. Sounds like Getting Things Done?

For me the best take away from the show was the realization that what I call work, and how I deal with doing work, were formed when I first started viewing things as ‘work’

For me it was at the age of about 8 when I knew that returning to school after the summer holiday meant a week of writing and drawing about ‘What I did in the holidays’ (teachers were lazy in the ’70s)

Now I know where the habits came from I have a fighting chance of changing a few of them.

Thanks Doug and thanks Tony.
