Allen is a world-renowned authority on Time Management.David has helpe
thousands of people around the world through his personal productivity system
called Getting Things Done, popularly known
as GTD®.
I would suggest you to get hold of his book that goes by the same name “Getting Things Done…The
art of stress-free productivity”…It will provide you clues to time management,
but more importantly to free-up your mind for chasing the higher purpose of
your life !
Sharing with you here,, some of David’s lines of thought from his book….
You
need to think about your stuff more than you think,but not as much as you’re
afraid you might
You
can only feel good about what you are not doing when you know what you are not
doing
Use
your mind to think about things, not
to keep thinking of them.
What
we truly need to do is often what we most feel like avoiding.
Your
ability to generate power is directly proportional to your ability to relax.
Everything
you’ve told yourself you ought to do, your mind thinks you should do it right now.
Frankly, as soon as you have added two things to do on your psychic RAM, you’ve
generated personal failure, because you can’t do two things at the same time.
This produces an all pervasive stress factor whose source can’t be pin-pointed.
You
need to spend quality time, detached from the daily grind, thinking about
,getting control of, and managing the daily grind.
Simple,
clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behavior.
Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple and stupid behavior – Dee Hock
The
problem is never how to get new innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to
get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean
out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it – Alvin Toffler
A
vision without a task is but a dream, a task without a vision is drudgery, a
vision and a task is the hope of the world.
