Work and Play - Stress Free: The Answer

The answer is the Getting Things Done® (GTD®) approach developed by David Allen.

Who is David Allen? David Allen has spent decades understanding how we work. He is an expert in understanding not what we work at but in understanding the work of work. He has isolated and documented clear and concise techniques, steps and routines to get more out of your day, complete more of the important things and to do it all stress free.

What is GTD? GTD is a systematic approach that enables you to clear your mind, keep you focused and ensure that you can continually take the next action of the most important thing.

The approach is basically about following these four simply step:

1. Get everything out of your head.
2. Make decisions about actions required on stuff when it shows up not when it blows up.
3. Organize reminders of your projects and the next actions on them in appropriate categories, based on how and when you need to access them.
4. Keep your system current, complete and reviewed sufficiently to trust your intuitive choices about what you're doing and what you're not doing at any point in time.
