| These lists brought the synthesist out in me. We are all, to some extent, both employees (even CEOs work for their customers) and managers (we all self-manage much of our work). And our behaviour in our work lives is often not that different in our home lives: In both roles there are similar reasons why we don't do what we should do. And having worked with a Getting Things Done approach now for six months, I've become aware that there are many (often very good) reasons why we don't do what we should, even when we know exactly what we should do.
Here's my synthesized list of the nine reasons we don't do what we should, in all aspects of our lives, in what I think is order of prevalence.
