Getting Things Done
"Getting things done is the inverse of holding things in your head."- David Allan
I recently listened to an interview with the founder of GTD- Getting Things Done on Eventual Millionaire. In the past I have had a hard time getting excited about this system. This time it was different.
David believes that in order to be more effective and to get things done you must get the noise out of your head. This is done by constantly noting things down and filing them in their appropriate place. Once they have been noted then one must set aside time to prioritize them.
As a formula,
GTD=1/WhatIsInYourHead
Do I agree with it? I do because it is simple. I have seen the effects of having too many things in my head on my effectiveness. The more time I spend thinking on paper the better I am overall. I do not necessarily follow his system but I believe it could be helpful to get everything down on paper. And then to make a plan on how you will deal with that information.
Today's question is:
"How often do you get things out of your head?"
