I’ve seen all the productivity tools.  GTD systems, email systems, scheduling tips and tricks and programs.  I don’t know if they work.  Honestly I don’t care— I trust my brain and I don’t want it leaning on a crutch.
Here’s what I know DOES work:
Write shit down.  Cross shit off.   (WSD/CSO for those of you that click on things that have more scientific or official-looking names.)
Works long term.  Works short term.  
Know what you want.  Do what it takes to get it.
Win.
