Is There A Decision You're Avoiding?

Meg Edwards tackles a next action that shows up on almost every client's list: "decide" or "think about," sitting there untouched. Drawing from Getting Things Done, chapter 7 (page 181), Meg walks through David Allen's guidance on decision catalysts, and how a calendar reminder or tickler file can turn a stalled decision into something you can trust yourself to revisit.
