Reading David Allen’s Getting Things Done, along with everyone else in the computer world. He says “If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.” But I’m realizing that most things take 10 minutes, and these are the things that really drive you crazy.

Need to find ways to make 10 minute tasks take 2 minutes without sacrificing quality.

Possible approaches:
- don’t edit and re-write e-mails, write them right the first time.
- limit quality, for tasks that don’t deserve it
- limit quantity.
- stop obsessing
- kill the anal attitude.
- delegate
- consolidate
- start from a place of organization
- skim
- just say no

others? (I’m delegating.)
