That`s good advice, Michael. I have been working on an order of 25 gift bags, (which isn`t due until Oct. 31st) I have finished and delivered 22, but have been dragging my feet on designing the last three. I have been working on other orders and working around it instead of just finishing it, knowing that it would take only a little of my time, and I would be finished.

Everyone interested in productivity has read GTD... it's got a strong following.
Personally I only use some of the concepts, because I find it isn't suited to the way I work and lifestyle I lead. I think it works better for people who have a more structured life. It is an extremely structured way to organize yourself.
The biggest takeaway i got from it is this:
"things that you don't deal with take up space in your mind and slow you done."
This can be anything in your life. Not necessarily business. So, if you had an argument with your wife and left it unresolved, it takes up mental space subconsciously and will reduce your productivity. even if you don't realize it. If you have 3 tasks you are procrastinating about, they will take up space also.
The way the author deals with it is to schedule them in a system so that he can 'forget' about them - it only works if you have 100% trust in your system, so that you can forget about them and know they will get taken care of.
Read the book. You'll definitely get value from it.

Do you have to actually buy the book or is there a way that you can at least get a glimpse of some of the chapters for free online before making the full purchase?
You might want to check out this link http://performtoprofit.com. It will help you achieve the most with your very limited time. Learn to manage your time and not the other way around. It helped me a lot, so I'm hoping it could be of help to you too.
