We go through life as if we were a fishing trawler, sweeping away all we find interesting in the social networks and the web. Knowledge does not take any place, right? Maybe it does not occupy a physical space but it takes time to decide what to do with the collected info. GTD, combined with apps like FacileThings and Evernote, allows us to collect everything, making us insatiable hoarders.

In this article I am not going to explain how you should make your decisions (who the hell am I?). Simply, I will present you a set of facts and theories about the decision making process. The idea is that if you know the process by which you make your own decisions, you will be able to make them more effectively. Also, let it be said, knowing how the human’s mind works in this type of processing also gives you the ability to influence others’ decisions (if you work in advertising, marketing or sales, this should be of your interest.)

Stephen Covey says in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that the so-called time management has evolved from a very first generation of people who only had to-do lists where they crossed tasks off when completed, to the current generation, where people do not try to manage time itself but themselves, by focusing on those activities that are important with regard to their life and values ​​(you can read about this generational evolution in this other article on self-management) .
