Can't disagree with you Mike, but you just did the same... I did ask, and you say it does, but did not say how, so I am still not enlightened...
But seriously, I did read it, also before the first post, but I read it again now. This is how it works: you make a long list of everything you want to do in life, that others want you to do, etc all on a page or two.... Then: Go through the page more slowly looking at the items in order until one stands out for you. This is the heart of the system. Don't try to prioritise items mentally - this will interfere with the balance between the rational and intuitive parts of your mind. Instead wait for a feeling of release about an item. It's hard to describe but easy to recognise. You just feel that the item is ready to be done. If you go on down the page, you may find that you feel drawn back to that item. Once you get that feeling about a task all resistance to doing the task vanishes, and it becomes easy to do. Come on, you got to be kidding... life's decisions are just not that easy.... but I gotta respect that this guy is going to get rich turning that one paragraph into a book.. and if it make you feel like you are doing the right things in life, then more power to you! But it won't work for me - guess I am too shallow... or perhaps I am afraid to face the fact that the tasks to meet my lifes goals fit on one measly page of paper with no obvious priority...
