Great Notes from Getting Things Done: the Roadmap seminar

I just finished reading some notes from David Allen’s Getting Things Done: the Roadmap seminar posted on the From the Belly of the Beasts blog. In particular, the following item jumped out at me:

Use “draft” instead of “write” (less intimidating to have “draft proposal to yada yada” on your list than “write proposal”)

It’s subtle, but I think it would be useful to help change my thinking about writing. It fits in well with one of the themes of The Now Habit:

Work for an imperfect, perfectly human first effort.

I’m also curious about the paperclip exercise mentioned toward the bottom of the notes. Anyone know more details about it?
