I suspect that this is a lesson those of us here in libraryland could learn. It's ok to Stop. Think things through. Prioritize. Taking time to Plan your work is a part of Productivity. Or something like that. “task management is its own overhead”

Another great Schneiderism. I suspect that this is a lesson those of us here in libraryland could learn. It’s ok to Stop. Think things through. Prioritize.

Taking time to Plan your work is a part of Productivity.

Or something like that.

You're right--it did so only because no one conducting my computer science / library science training ever managed to convey how useful an In Box and Tickler file could be. GTD changed my life.

I feel a lot of what happens in libraries is intended to *emulate* work due to a poor understanding of functional work processes. I have wanted to write a post about the signs of a toxic workplace, but felt it seemed a bit negative. Maybe if I balance it with signs of a healthy workplace?
