David Allen "Getting Things Done"

Parents

01. Allen quotes David Kekrich, "anxiety is caused by lack of control, organization, preparation, and action."
02. Allen suggests capturing all the things that we need to get done - now, later, someday, big, little, or in between into a logical and trusted system outside of your head and off your mind.
04. Allen States, "Most stress people experience comes from over-committing. Greater relaxation, better focus, and increased productive energy comes from controlling open loops in their life."
07. Allen wrote from Peter Drucker who stated that with "knowledge work" you have to think about your stuff more than you realize but not as much as you're afraid you might. In knowledge work ... the task is not given - it has to be determined."
