I can’t read 22 books at once and make any reasonable progress on them, nor can I work on freelancing and 5 different products. Like the preschool sign my wife wanted me to grab just in case we wanted to send our kid there. Like the next 5 products I’ve thought about. Like the list of books I want to read in the future. – David Allen Getting Things Doneįor me reference files are things that I want to track, but aren’t really actionable at this time.
