Grow Together (Post 338) – Ready for Anything by David Allen

David Allen is a productivity consultant who is best known as the creator of the time management method known as “Getting Things Done”.

Clean up your goals and declutter. This creates new direction.
Know your commitments to know what opportunities you can accept.
Know where you currently are and what it will take to achieve your goals.
Two commitments in your head creates stress and failure.
Priorities function only at a conscious level. Know the danger of ‘not so important’ projects.
Closing open loops releases energy.
If it’s on your mind, it’s probably not getting done.
The deeper the channel, the greater the flow. Are you ready for more?
Worry is a waste.
You are not your work.
For more clarity, look from a higher place.
You won’t see how to do it until you see yourself doing it.
Energy follows thought. Make a note of what you are putting in front of your door?
A change in focus equals a change in result.
Perspective is the most valuable commodity on the planet.
Productivity doesn’t happen by itself. You have to think and work on it.
If you know what you’re doing, efficiency is the only improvement opportunity.
Only one thing on your mind is “in the zone“.
Stability on one level opens creativity on another.
Your system is only as good as its weakest link.
You can’t win a game if you haven’t defined it.
You’re the only one playing your game – that could be your life, your goals, your dreams, etc.
Your power is proportional to your ability to relax.
You speed up by slowing down.
Small things, done consistently, create major impact.
You have to do something to know something.
It’s easier to move when you’re in motion.
The biggest successes come from the most failures.
