问题：
我将所有承诺很好地呈现在列表中，而不是在我的脑海中。可我现在的困境是：我写下了我需要做的每项工作和个人任务，包括将电子邮件转换为下步行动，现在我有580项工作任务，346项个人任务，266项任务给我的助理，117项需要我丈夫做的！我按照项目和日期整理它们，但是我感到不知从何下手！有任何建议吗？非常感谢。
QUESTION:
I have done a good job of getting
all my commitments in my list manager and out of my head, but here is my
dilemma: I have written down every work and personal task I need to do,
including converting emails to action items and now I have 580 work tasks,346
personal tasks, 266 tasks for my assistant and 117 honey-dos for my husband! I
have them organized by project and date, but am feeling overwhelmed by the
sheer volume of it all! Any advice? Thanks so much for your work.
DAVID ALLEN:
你可以有尽可能多的承诺。如果你不想下意识的拥有永恒的压力，你则需要客观地将它们从头脑中剔除，并且进行回顾。正如您所发现的那样，要获得无压生活的下一步是确定哪些实际上是属于“将来/也许”的，哪些是需要当下去处理的。基本上你在任何时候都没有做过的事情就是属于“将来/也许”列表。当你分辨出需要在一个合理的时间里真正想要/需要完成的“活跃”事件与那些可以等等的事项后，就会感觉好多了。最后，你必须决定你需要和想要看到什么样的全景，为的是对你正在做的事情放心;你要如何实践不分对与错，只要对你来说最有效就行。
DAVID ALLEN:
Well, you have as many
commitments as you have, and unless you want eternal subliminal stress, you
need to get them objectively out of your head and reviewable. As you've
discovered, your next task to get more stress-free is to determine which ones
are really a "someday" vs. which ones need to be on the front shelf.
Essentially everything that you're not doing at any moment is
"someday" but the psyche feels much better when you have made some
distinctions between the "active" ones that you really want/need to
get done within a reasonable time vs. those that can wait. Ultimately you'll
have to decide what kind of overview/map you need and want to see, to feel OK
about what you're doing; so there's no right/wrong about any of this - only
what's most workable for you.

问题：
当我回到日常生活时，如何能坚持做到“心静如水”？
QUESTION:
How do I stick with getting to
“mind like water” when I’m back in my day-to-day world?
DAVID ALLEN:
就像健身一样，这是一个靠平时坚持积累保持的结果，你在一开始时会觉得用这种创新思维思考事物很不舒服。你越频繁地清理积压许久的事，澄清结果和行动，以及经过良好回顾的工作和生活，你就越容易很自然的变得平静。你会像每天都要刷牙那样处理你的收件箱，如果你不这样做，“scuzz因子（*）”会变得很高。关键是要不断地实践，不然你会很容易地再次回到凌乱。另外，GTD®搞定™的每周检视是一把万能钥匙！
*“scuzz factor”：某种东西变得实在无法忍受的程度，以至于你无法解决它。
