I’m excited about Getting Things Done, the book by David Allen. (Amazon link.) GTD is Getting Things Done – see definition of GTD. I’m already getting more things done, because I’m more organized, and haven’t even read the book yet. I’ve read a couple reviews, outlines, and summaries of the principles and main ideas from the book. That was enough to jump start me into a new way of thinking and working. Here’s what’s happening:

  • Learned a better way to manage my inbox(es).
  • A smarter way to manage my project lists and to-do lists.
  • I am better organized and more focused on my goals.
  • That’s all for today — I have to run, and Get Things Done!

We’ll come back to this topic in a couple weeks and see what other progress I can report.
