Hello, Wine Evers. My name is Jesse Meekham and this is podcast number one twenty for you need a budget where we teach you four rules to help you stop living paycheck to paycheck get out of debt and save more money.

I've noticed on this podcast as of late we don't talk a lot about the rules.

And I'm not going to today. Today I'm going to talk about something that doesn't have anything to do with money.

Today I wanted to talk about getting things done. There's a book called Getting Things Done by David Allen. I read it and loved it. It's a little old school in its implementation, but the method is the magic. As with

Wynab you can use pretty much any tool you want, but if you follow the four rules, you, as I say at the end of every podcast will win financially.

Now I've had a lot of people ask me lately for some reason I'm not sure why how I manage to do's and I have more than I used to but I feel

The system works because I know that it doesn't have any leaks. So I grab my phone and that's my on the go

recorder of sorts, but the whole system basically goes like this. I think of something

that I need to do or I think of someone I need to call or I think of an email

I need to write or whatever it is or just an idea and I put it in my inbox.

GTD people call this your inbox, it's not your email inbox.

It's just my inbox.

And that's on my phone.

Usually I have my phone with me and I just record it there.

So Julie say, why'd you get out your phone? I say, well, I just thought of something. And I put it in my phone. Every Monday, I review the inbox and I will kill things that I'm no longer interested in. I will file some of those things to
