Summary

Get Things Done (GTD) I’m a fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done. His book spawned an entire industry. It also causes a lot of stress. A few years ago, David was speaking at a conference, and folks asked how he managed to get things done: 1) Nothing gets done until I process everything. No cheating.   2) I process everything into a single “trusted” place when I have time. Some folks use a journal. Others use software or an app.  3) I review my potential work weekly and decide if I still need to do it. Nothing added to your list is more important than tasks already there. Processing everything together will reveal the best path. Stay focused, my friend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

simple things you can do that I do every single day. You don't have to read the

0:39.0

book. You don't have to join the program. She don't do any of that stuff. And I

0:42.0

must deal and gave it to stuff. This is just comments and stuff that works. One

0:44.6

let you know where I got it from though. But chat about that today. It's going to

0:47.0

help you out a bit. It is the daily boost from motivation to move.com. Every

0:53.2

single day, it's a positive boost you need because we all need that. We need

0:58.0

that little bit of a boost. We need at least the possibility. And in many cases, you

1:01.4

know, I don't always come across as a guy that's going to give you that that

1:04.1

motivational inspirational unicorn or rainbow kind of boost. No, it's not

1:07.4

always going to be that. Sometimes the boost will be a little kick in the

1:09.9

butt. Get you going. Sometimes the boost will be a little real talk, a little

1:13.2

honesty with you. You're just okay. Yeah. Straight shooting, talking kind of guy.

1:17.9

If you ask me how to do things, I'll tell you how to do it. And that'll be it.

1:20.6

There's a way things get done. And there's a way things don't get done. A lot

1:24.0

of what happens is people go out and they listen to just about everything. And

1:27.1
