One Thing at a Time
This is a nice idea – NowDoThis. A blank white page with the one thing that you need to be doing now with simple (limited) functionality. Can possibly work well when coupled with something like the GTD system where you can import the action points for the day and let it keep you on track.
Seems so simple but if I recall my “get organized” classes back in my teens, it seemed like one of those useful tricks they kept telling you about but never actually used. Besides, multitasking seems a little harder for guys than it does seem for gals (it’s true, this is the premise of books like Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps: How We’re Different and What to Do About It.
But will it work in the practicality of a work environment? The testing shall begin.
