Freedom to create a mess is proportional to your ability to know what "no mess" is and how to get there.
Appropriate focus on the right stuff gives the freedom to not have to focus on anything, on a regular basis.
Freedom to give full attention to what you want (vs. It being held hostage by unmanaged stuff) is the GTD promise.
The nature of creative thinking runs counter to the nature of dealing w/its output. Ability & system to do both is freedom. GTD.
