Flow By Ben Phillips

Flow is a life planning system using the concepts and processes from David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD).
It’s based on the principle that your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.
We waste time keeping track of the things we have to do in life. From the basics such as ‘buy more cat food’ to the multi-month project at work – all of these responsibilities we have to store in our heads use up space and cycles that we should use for the things we want to do in that moment.
Flow will help you put every one of these projects, tasks, and ideas into Obsidian – in a format that works for you – so you can have a mind like water and focus fully on the task in hand.
