A good workflow should be structured in a way that optimizes autonomy (freedom motivates us, autonomy lengthens your life). It should allow us to choose what we want to work on at any given time and transition smoothly from one task to another without compromising the bigger picture. A good workflow takes into consideration that everything is interconnected but are also mutually separate from one another. We need a system that is as comprehensive as GTD but suitable for an open-ended process. Such a workflow is made up of small tasks as working on smaller tasks creates a sense of control (break down your work into small and clearly separated tasks). My workflow should be optimized for freedom.
