I just found a really interesting article/link on Lifehacker.com during my morning reading, and I thought I'd share it:
Get Things Done by Closing a Few Doors
Although choice is generally seen as a positive thing, the New York Times examines how and why closing a few doors can help you take major steps toward moving forward with projects and getting things done. The article begins with a look at a third century B.C. Chinese general named Xiang Yu, who burned his troops' ships and destroyed much of their means of survival on arriving in enemy territory.

I'm working on closing some doors today.

What a great article, Dave!
I found the section on the student's reaction to the "vanishing door" particularly compelling.
Like you, I will invest time today in closing the doors and burning the bridges that no longer serve me.
Thanks for flipping the switch!
