I have started to listen to Making It All Work, by David Allen. Yes, I said listen as I downloaded the audiobook. It’s a great way to “get things done” (hehe), no really I can listen as I drive. I am already well into chapter 2 and here are the first nuggets I have harvested:

• GTD (Getting Things Done – the methodology) is not just about email and filing solutions, it has underlying principles that you can use in all areas of your life.
• GTD is not a system, but a systematic approach. Therefore you can adapt it to your “system”.
• Before beginning to organize something, you must capture and then clarify. David Allen recommends starting with what he calls a “reality inventory”.
• Change often evokes stress. Are you confident that you can deal with change?
• GTD works for everyone. As we all desire more freedom, not more work.
