Favorite quote! 

“What I needed to do was pick a niche in real estate, laser-focus on it, and run after it 100 percent. That’s really the key to real estate: running after it 100 percent. You can have all the talent in the world, but it will only get you so far. The rest is hard work.”

• Why the overall design of a book is important to the customer experience

Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them. That’s why David Allen created Getting Things Done®. GTD is the work-life management system that has helped countless individuals and organizations bring order to chaos. GTD enables greater performance, capacity, and innovation. It alleviates the feeling of overwhelm—instilling focus, clarity, and confidence.

After decades of in-the-field research and practice of his productivity methods, David wrote the international best-seller Getting Things Done. Published in over 28 languages, TIME magazine heralded it as “the defining self-help business book of its time.” In 2015, he released a new edition of the book, with new insights, updates, and discoveries about the world of Getting Things Done and its many personal and professional applications.

Today, David Allen is considered the leading authority in the fields of organizational and personal productivity. The David Allen Company oversees the certification academy and quality standards for Global Partners offering Getting Things Done courses and coaching around the world.

5 Steps: 

• Capture

My favorite quotes from the beginning of the book!

“Your head is for having ideas-not for holding them!”

“Getting Things Done is not simply about getting things done. It’s about being appropriately engaged with your work and life.”

“This is the vaccination against day-to-day firefighting (the so-called urgent and crisis demands of any given workday) and an antidote for the imbalance many people bring upon themselves.”

“mind like water. Imagine throwing a pebble into a still pond. How does the water respond? The answer is, totally appropriately to the force and mass of the input; then it returns to calm. It doesn’t overreact or underreact.” page 12

“You must use your mind to get things off your mind.” page 14

“Getting things done requires two basic components: defining (1) what “done” means (outcome) and (2) what “doing” looks like (action).” page 21
