Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

by David Allen

In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. In Getting Things Done Allen shows how to:

* Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box to empty
* Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
* Plan projects as well as get them unstuck
* Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
* Feel fine about what you're not doing

From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done can transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.

Tisti, ki redno spremljate moje izlete v svet priročnikov, me najbrž poznate po hvalospevu knjigi The Now Habit, ki nas uči vztrajati v tistih neprijetnih trenutkih, ko želimo odnehati in se vdati odlašanju. No, s temi tehnikami zdaj uspešno jadram med različnimi aktivnostmi in se ne ustrašim, preden začnem.

Problem se je pojavil v tem, da nisem imela sistema, kako zdaj naenkrat beležiti vse aktivnosti, ki jih hočem in želim narediti. Po priporočilu mentorja v podjetništvu sem prebrala članek, kjer je avtor omenil in pohvalil GTD sistem. Začela sem brati in totalno padla not. Sistem je precej kompleksen in nekoliko rigorozen, zato se ne bom poglabljala v detajle.

Rekla bom samo to.

Če se vam kdaj zgodi, da ne morete fokusirano delati ali sproščeno uživati v igri, ker se vam neprestano pojavlja neka misel, kaj imate še za narediti, koga morate poklicati, kako bi nekaj speljali, potem bo GTD za vas. GTD je sistem, ki bo vaš um povsem sprostil nepotrebne navlake in vam omogočil, da dela tisto, kar je njegova funkcija - misli in ne skladišči milijone informacij, opravkov in nalog.
