Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Manual productivity by David Allen began by telling about the changing realities of the modern world. The author understands the key challenges in this age of information overload. Most workers who work in the workplace are knowledge workers, and that means they were hired for what they know. The projects assigned to the workers come science with undefined boundaries and guidelines are also more flexible than ever. This dilemma is also different from what we have in the yesteryears, how we organize ourselves better as a knowledge worker? 

 
Simplified and Systematic Method 
 

The author came up with a simple and systematic method that gives real results in the real world. He said there was no ready-made solutions, and people who think they will become more efficient by buying a new calendar and the latest gadgets available in the market are removed from reality. David Allen came up with different solutions that can make a more relaxed environment and bring greater control in the work environment. 

 
Some To Do
 

 The method suggested by the authors is systematic and simple. He asks you to use several lists, although to perform the tasks listed on them do not have to be prioritized in any way. Because the priority is constantly changing and you must continue to change the list if you prioritize, so that's frustrating you in the process. The organization must be made on the basis of a list of things to do, one for phone calls, others to read and write. You also must have a master project list. One a day / maybe list also may exist, which consists of the things you want to do but not sure when.

Conducting A Review Weekly
 

If you have some discretionary time, you may decide to make a phone call if you are near the phone. You also can do things on the basis of location, time, level of energy and priority. You should also do a weekly review to make sure everything is in your mind is on the list. The author tells us not to focus on the first goal, instead you have to take care of things the first day that make us stuck most of the time. Everything must be removed from the thoughts by writing them all. Make a decision about the next action as soon as you need to do it. One must also continue to review the list to find out what needs to be done at the time. 

 
Are The Method of Simple Or simple?
 

If there is something on the list that does not require any action, you can throw it out of the list, put it on the calendar, or keep it for reference so you can revisit every time there is a need. The method described by David Allen has been criticized by some reviewers as too simple, it is definitely worth a try.
