I find that often my interest in projects waxes and wanes periodically, and seemingly randomly. I like the organizational ideas of GTD, specifically the getting the ideas out of your head and collecting them into a known place, and breaking down TODOs into components until they&#x27;re not so large and abstract as to cause paralysis -- but I agree that they can still be overwhelming.<p>This article made me think of an idea of mitigating the former issue; that is, instead of have a huge list of &quot;next steps&quot; that can cause their own form of analysis paralysis when I&#x27;m feeling indecisive, even if they&#x27;re small and easy, but instead have a mechanism to choose and display a single, randomly chosen item from the list of items.<p>If I&#x27;m not interested in that, I could skip to another one. Otherwise, it catches my fancy and I now have something concrete to work on, without wasting any effort trying to figure out what to do myself.
