Crucial Learning research shows 2 out of 3 respondents said they struggle to focus on a single task or person and instead are distracted by the latest and loudest. And 60.6% said they rarely do even an hour or two of focused work each day. On the other hand, those who use the skills taught in GTD are 55 times less likely to start projects and not finish them and half as likely to report feeling burned out and stressed compared with those who do not use the skills. And those who know how to implement the Habit Loop can build these GTD habits with less effort and greater success.
