Author: David Allen<\/p>\n

\"\"The Five Big Ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Getting things done requires defining what \u201cdone\u201d means and what \u201cdoing\u201d looks like.<\/li>\n
  2. Mastering your workflow involves capturing what has your attention, clarifying what it means, putting it where it belongs, reviewing it frequently, and engaging with it.<\/li>\n
  3. If an action will take less than two minutes, it should be done at the moment it is defined.<\/li>\n
  4. Anxiety and guilt don\u2019t come from having too much to do; it comes from breaking agreements with yourself.<\/li>\n
  5. Your mind is for having ideas, not for holding them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"The Threefold Model for Identifying Daily Work<\/b><\/p>\n

    When you\u2019re getting things done, or \u201cworking\u201d in the universal sense, there are three different kinds of activities you can be engaged in:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Doing predefined work.<\/b>\u00a0When you\u2019re doing predefined work, you\u2019re working from your Next Actions lists and calendar\u2014completing tasks that you have previously determined need to be done, or managing your workflow.<\/li>\n
    2. Doing work as it shows up.<\/b>\u00a0Every day brings surprises and you\u2019ll need to expend some time and energy on many of them. However, when you follow these leads, you\u2019re deciding by default that these things are more important than anything else you have to do at those times.<\/li>\n
    3. Defining your work.<\/b>\u00a0Defining your work entails clearing up your in-tray, your digital messages, and your meeting notes, and breaking down new projects into actionable steps.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
