Getting Things Done — Success without stress

David Allen's technique about that as to the modern person overloaded with work, affairs, obligations and an inexhaustible stream of the information to achieve success, to be in time with affairs and thus to cease to test stress. How be able readiness and confidence at performance of any business. How to plan, how to order the information, documents, files so that all was near at hand and on the place.

The practical technique which has proved the success on examples of hundreds and thousand of persons.

That important I have taken out from the book for myself:

1. All information, all obligations, plans and records to store out of a head


2. To develop system which to allow to transform the entering information, the thoughts, records, documents in accurate instructions for action or materials for use. In system should be four parts: Entering, Plans, Materials and Proceeding


3. In entering to get all that you need to transform, of what to think. Even if it is thought, write down it on a paper and put in the entering


4. The plan consist from: Projects (that that cannot be executed for one action), Actions (broken on contexts), expectation Lists (that you from whom expect), the List when can to be (the list of the postponed affairs)


5. The entering should be ordered simply alphabetically in one level, it is not necessary to complicate them subfolders, grouping on themes and so forth - simply alphabetic list. It concerns both to paper, and electronic materials.
