By February or March of 2009, my GTD habit was slipping, and I think the halo effect was the number one cause. The halo effect just grew and grew, like the Blob, until I was no longer bothering to capture anything. By May, I had virtually stopped processing my inboxes and reviewing, too, because I wasn’t capturing anything to process or review.

I was back to a life of chaotic inspiration, reduced to continuous lurching in the next most appealing or urgent direction.

I plan to resurrect GTD now, because I miss it, and one of my main goals will be to deal with the halo effect. I’ll report back in a while, if I think I found a anything like a solution!
