3. Some Interesting Things
• Working of a brain - For example knowing you need to fix your bike
before next week, but instead of reminding you when you actually
drive by the bicycle shop, it implants an incessant feeling of “I need to
remember… something” in your brain.
• The human brain is a very advanced machine, but it has lots and lots
of limitations. One of those limitations is that our short term memory
can only hold, depending on who the person is, somewhere between
four and eight things.

4. Some More
• "Pretend your brain is a white board. Is it covered with to-do lists and
“DO NOT ERASE”? Is there space for drawing and combining ideas?"
- Jessicca Kerr
• “Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them” - David Allen

6. • GTD assumes you are dumb—your subconsciousness is quite dumb
when it comes to thinking about things you should have done.
• A great part of GTD is to convert both tasks and whims into physical
and visible actions
• GTD gives you a foolproof system for keeping track of what you
need to do, should do, or should consider to do.
• When done properly, your subconsciousness will stop keeping track
of all the things you need to do and stop constantly reminding you.
• This reduces stress and frees up precious brain time to more
productive thinking.
