David Allen: Getting Things Done

Take-aways

  • Your mind wants to fill in the blanks between here and there, but in somewhat random order.
  • One of the best tricks for enhancing your personal productivity is having organizing tools that you love to use.
  • Airtight organization is required for your focus to remain on the broader horizon.
  • We must strive to reach that simplicity that lies beyond sophistication. —John Gardner
  • There is no reason not to be highly productive, even when you’re not in top form.
  • “Interruptitis”
  • It’s impossible to renegotiate agreements with yourself that you can’t remember you made.
  • Organizations must create a culture in which it is acceptable that everyone has more to do than he or she can do, and in which it is sage to renegotiate agreements about what everyone is not doing.
