The web is full of tools and apps to make things easier and faster. Often, however, we find ourselves spending more time on searching around for new tools and trying to improve the process, instead of just "Getting Things Done"!
The reason often is the fear of starting a task/project. We are not exactly sure how we're going to start the task, and then instead of planning the project, it is so much easier to "just have to do one more thing" before we actually start doing the real task ahead.
The internet provides us with a ton of resources to work smarter, faster and more productive. The internet however, also provides us with even more distractions, feeding our hyper short attention disorders.
Feng Shui celebrates simplicity. As Bruce Lee once said: "The height of cultivation always runs to simplicity".
By simplifying our work process and focus on a few important projects and tasks, will help our productivity immensely.
So embrace the simple, focus, turn of the TV and the music. Close all the windows and tabs you know are not helping you do what you are sitting there to do in the first place.
Going further into the planning process and the actual doing has been written extensively about by David Allen in his "Getting Things Done" as well as another favorite "Zen to Done" from Leo Babauta and his famous and highly inspirational "Zen Habits" blog.
