GTD: Optimising brain functionality by alleging cognitive loads
3.5⭐️ (more than I liked it but less than I really liked it)
I enjoyed reading this cult book on productivity. It seems that the methodology is malleable with the bujo method. I like that the author insisted on optimising brain functionality by alleging cognitive loads: it is to think and generate ideas and not to remember (unnecessary) tasks. The GTD concept and its well-being part are explained well in the first chapters. It also helps me understand why the classic to-do list can be demoralising when it’s not respected and/or insufficient, although everything is checked as done.
Honestly, reading the first part of the book (2015 edition) is enough for me. I thought parts 2 and 3 would be detailed explanations of the first part, but they are basically repetitive phrases, jargon, and examples of the first part. But, I understand that step-by-step in part two might be helpful for those unfamiliar with journaling or planning.
I like one chapter in part 3 that talks about the similarities and positive impacts of GTDs in cognitive science and psychology research. However, the drawbacks might exist and thus need to be discussed and shared.
