I recognize this as an issue for me and I plan to try using your three questions to try to discern what really needs doing each day. Thanks for this advice, Karl.

I'll have to make a point of it now. If you see it show up as one of my recommendations down the road, you'll know I acted. I'm going over to check out your blog now.

We are in the midst of an information revolution, and learning to focus is harder than ever, especially when we're also commanded to 'multitask'. Being in the knowledge economy gives us the opportunity to use these changes to take our professions in a better, more efficient, more elegant, more user-friendly, and more ethical direction. It also gives us the challenge to adapt to something that we are not, I believe, well-suited for. Have you ever heard of "Getting Things Done"? Or even just "GTD" as it is called by the legions of productivity hackers who use it. I wrote a few bits on my <a href="http://prochor.us/tag/gtd" rel="nofollow">blog</a>, but you can find stuff just about anywhere on the net. Of course, I recommend you also buy the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280" rel="nofollow">book</a>.
