Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen David Allen makes an important distinction to me about actions and projects. I've had Projects on my To Do list all this time. What's the next step is the question and Projects need to be broken down in to actionable steps. What is actually next?
He also talks about putting everything in to the In Basket, labeling everything and filing it. This action of getting the little nagging items off the top of your mind allows you to free up energy, reduce stress, and actually get something done.
He also says that in order to file everything one needs to do away with the Pendaflex folders. Well, that seems just too rude. My buddy George proposed an interim fix. Use box-bottom folders. Working on it.
