Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO'er.  Hope you're well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There's no reason as to why some comments make it and others don't. Seriously. There isn't. This weeks cheesy motivational quote is: I’m selfish,
