Getting Things Done
by David Allen
Three key ideas
- Put commitments, ideas, and reminders in one reliable collection point instead of relying on memory.
- A collection point still needs processing, or it just becomes a bigger pile.
- For each item, ask if it needs action and define the next observable step.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Get it out of your head
- 2.Name the very next step
- 3.Give every reminder a home
- 4.Keep your lists true
- 5.Choose what fits, not everything
