“If you don't pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves.”
David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

“Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.”
David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

“You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you can call it "done.”
David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
