Getting Things Done
Following my post Planning + Organisation = GTD? my mentor Richard, suggested me to read David Allen’s “Getting Things Done - stress free productivity” book. I have read the first part in the book and I am completely flabbergasted by my ignorance to trivial details.
Few years back I was habitual of jotting down my To-do list on a piece of paper and keep it in my wallet. I glanced over that list every now and again to ensure everything on my mind was there which relieved me off the stress. I only realised that after reading David Allen’s book that if things are on your mind you are bound to get distracted (D-factor, I guess). I totally revere the guy now.
My aim is to read the book and use his expertise to devise my own way of keeping a sort of diary as he stresses on the fact that “as far as it is off your mind… you will be composed and focussed for your task”.
