Next phase coming early next week on Organize.

This is HUGE…..

I started on the system a few weeks ago, blindly following the steps without worrying about the why so much on the ones I didn’t fully understand. People started to notice a difference in my work – even people who didn’t know about the system.

The most appropriate comment was that I seem more focused. Your comment points out why. I am able to place my attention deliberately rather than worrying that I might forget that problem someone else thinks I need to be solving. I will get to that problem when I hit it in my system.

Thanks for the great series.

I always find it interesting when people resist downloading their head. I’ve had people concerned that they will become dumb (like a muscle that will get weak), or think that David Allen means they should never think about anything. And I think there is probably something in there for some people about being afraid what might come out of their head.

This clear head step is actually getting people to place their attention versus having their attention grabbed. Big difference in those two.

And it’s always great to have a great idea that I didn’t know was in there because I was too consumed with having my attention grabbed by other stuff.

I agree that capturing everything and taking out of your head makes a big difference! It makes space for thinking :)

Good article!

Cheers,
