Mindfulness

I was reading Thich Nhat Hanh's "The Miracle of Mindfulness" last night, which recounts, in its chapter 7, the story of the Emperor's three questions, written by Tolstoy. I won't go into the whole story -- it's the typical "ask everyone in the realm for the answer, don't find it, go on your own search, find a sage...." -- but of interest to GTD are the questions themselves:

  1. What is the best time to do each thing?
  2. Who are the most important people to work with?
  3. What is the most important thing to do at all times?

The answers seem to be available in a "mind like water" state:

  1. What is the best time to do each thing? - Now
  2. Who are the most important people to work with? - People you are with
  3. What is the most important thing to do at all times? - the thing you are doing
