Your system is your best Map

If you are going to do a trip to a place you are not familiar with, it will be silly not to consult a map, to check how to go from here to there. The same happen if you are trying to get things done, if seems silly not to have a system. Notice that I said A SYSTEM, not my system. I use GTD, most likely, since you are here, you too, but you don't need to use it in the way I do, or do anything I do, but you need to make sure that you have an up to date system, a system that you trust, and a system that have everything, from the truly important to the irrelevant. If you don't have a complete system, one that you trust, the decision you are talking right now could be the wrong one, or not the best one. Unless you are able to see the next action against all the rest, you will never know if what you are doing is the best thing you could be doing right now or not. That's the importance of the cop ere system, as well as the map when you are taking a road trip. Most people I know are really busy, being busy is important for them, the problem is this people sometimes don't stop to make sure they e busy with the really important stuff,they are only busy, and they are doing th best they can, sometimes they go forward, sometimes they go in circles and they don't even know it, yes, they have no map to check were they are going. There is other people, that because have no system, and therefore no map, simply stop in paralysis and fear instead of move, not either one of those is a better one, even tough I will prefer be busy in the wrong stuff than paralyze in fear waiting for a miracle. That is the reason the system is important, because is that complete, up to date system, that will allow you to pick the important task, is that system that will allow you to decide if you need to take left or right in the next intersection, is that full system also that will help you to make the decision to stop and put gas before the next one hundred miles.
