   To spread his productivity gospel, David Allen is writing a third book on how to get things in order, or the GTD system (Get-Things-Done System). The advantage of the GTD system, or others like it, Allen says, is that once you’ve written everything down and gotten it off your brain, your mind can relax and your imagination can soar. Here are some of his top tips, whether you’re an executive or an artist-in-the-making.
   【R1】______
   Most people keep separate lists of things they have to do at home and their professional or school tasks. That’s a mistake, Allen says. You’re the same person at home and at the office (or school). It’s more effective to maintain a unified list of all of your tasks. Keep it on paper, not in your overloaded head. Organize tasks by context rather than according to whether they’re professional or personal. In other words, if you have calls to make, whether to work colleagues or to the babysitter or cable guy, tag them in your to-do list as things to do when you’ve got a few minutes and a phone handy.
   【R2】______
   When your schedule is packed with meetings and tasks, it’s easy to lose sight of your broader goals and responsibilities. Break away once a week and take stock of the projects you’re working on. That will ensure that important items on the distant horizon don’t fall by the wayside. The "weekly review" is the most important element, according to devotees. It’s easy to avoid and hard to commit to, but Allen says building it into your routine helps systemize effective planning.
   【R3】______
   Whether you’re a scraps-of-paper person or a Filofax fanatic, chances are you’ve developed your own way of organizing your calendar, tasks and contacts. Most of us, though, have holes in our organizational buckets. Things routinely fall out. And while your system might be comfortable, it should get a tune-up from time to time.
   【R4】______
   Keep tabs on your working space just as you manage your mental space. "The things that belong are supplies, reference material, decoration and equipment," Allen says. "Everything else is in process." In other words, if random chotchkes are gradually taking over your desk despite being neither functional nor sentimental, observe that and do something about it. But once you’ve recognized that something is out of place, do something about it to improve your peace of mind.
   【R5】______
   At some point, too many tasks and projects may mess you up, and you do not know which one should be done first and which one accounts for the most significant part of you position. Even if you don’t yet know what that is, set aside some time to think about it once in a while so that you could arrange your time and tasks appropriately and then decide what’s the next thing to do.
   David Allen, the productivity authority, likes to think of himself as a "researcher, educator and an evangelist," who helps people weave order into their complex lives. According to Allen, his tips would help people gain control of their frazzled lives and figure out new ways to further develop their careers.
【R2】
选项
答案E
解析 本段的重点是不要偏离长远的目标，因此要常常回顾。E“回顾长远目标”表达的正是这个意思，其中的Review…objectives对应文中的“weekly review”，故选E。
