Process as a strategic process

Seems to be in the air. E-mail today I got from Scott Moehering, a major GTDer at Nationwide Insurance: "I have become increasingly aware that while context and time available certainly come first, energy available plays a major role in Processing. I can't seem to Process when I'm tired. I seem to subconsciously know that I don't have the energy to do that tiny bit of thinking, so I resist it like the plague. I can now see how much cumulative energy it takes to Process, and why I have resisted it for years. Just knowing that helps me. Too tense or tired to process? Exercise or wait until the morning, but come back to it later. I am learning I will burn through it faster, and, more importantly, not build negative associations around 'Processing'."
