David Allen speaks at the “Do” Lectures

Posted: October 27th, 2010 | Author: Patrick Smits | Filed under: Personal Performance | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

David Allen’s book ‘Getting things done’, has sold 2 million copies all over the world. The premise of the book is simple enough. That a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks.

Unlike a computer, we can not add more ram to our brains. So we have to free up ram so we can think more. That’s why David’s book is so amazing. That is gives you a system to take all that stuff and get of your head, so you can do more. Brilliant stuff.

From all authors about management and self improvement, David Allen is one who really helped me to improve my own planning system. What makes his story different from authors is for you to find out.

This is a nice example of creativity at work. It is applauded to call upon expertise from different domains in order to share best practices. The outcome could be even more exceptional if this process would be facilitated by experts with experience in change management and HPT.
