Six of one, half dozen of the other.

So I've discovered that writing every day is difficult because I'm not thinking about significant things every day. Or maybe I am, I just don't know I am because it's deep in my subconscious mind. In the spirit of full-disclosure, I'm inclined to believe it's the former. This led me to the question-- why do we even think of things at all? Like any good bible would, GTD has an answer for even the most abstract musing. Most often, the reason something is "on your mind" is that you want it to be different than it currently is, and yet:

1. You haven't clarified exactly what the intended outcome is;
2. You haven't decided what the very next physical action step is;
3. You haven't put reminders of the outcome and the action required in a system you trust.

So if all of this is to be believed as true, which, I will assert as a personal belief since it came out of D.Allen's mouth, what is to be said of things that just "slip" your mind? I haven't got that far in the book yet, but my money is on repressed aggression towards something from the past. That always seems to be the issue, doesn't it?

Side note: Is it just me or is the question mark the sexiest punctuation mark in the English language? Maybe it's the ampersand. Either way, I don't think we use either nearly as often as we should.
