The Bible of Productivity

You know those books you seem to pick up at the absolute perfect time in your life? That’s how I feel currently about Getting Things Done by David Allen.

This is more of a way of life–a proper system–than it is a book. I’m only three chapters in, and it has changed my life.

The idea of genuinely getting things done is not to get more things done per se; it is to have a stress-free relationship with the things you need or want to accomplish.

I will certainly be regurgitating concepts from this lovely little book in future blogs and videos; but the main idea is this:

“THE KEY INGREDIENTS of relaxed control are (1) clearly defined outcomes (projects) and the next actions required to move them toward closure, and (2) reminders placed in a trusted system that is reviewed regularly.”
