I must tell you that I just read your post, because I wanted to be able to say this: 12 steps??? I give you 3 steps to successful x-step posts:

1. Don't overthink things! Make x<=5.

2. Be the first to listen to your own advice!

3. Help others not to procrastinate with writing only things who have value and where not written trillion times before!

Thanks!

These seem to be more "12 steps to be someone who people think gets things done". Most of these steps are about image management rather then production.

My GTD rules:

1. Talk Less 2. Make Shit
