Getting Things Done

Making the changes necessary to avert catastrophic climate change requires us all to ‘get things done’. In 2007 I read David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” and took on many (if not all:) of his recommendations. A ‘weekly review’ is one of his key recommendations, and I get a weekly reminder with a tip to focus my attention…like this one:
Have you got any “stuff” that needs clarifying as a “project” for your Projects list? Anything that you’d call a “problem” right now that should be labeled a project, with a next action? Think about situations and circumstances in your world this week – anything emerge that still needs resolution or clarification? Make it a project – “Clarify…” “Resolve…” You don’t have to know how to clarify or resolve it to call it a “project” – just focus on the outcome, and get an action to move toward it. “It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” – Confucius
What projects are you committed to, and what are the next actions you can take to move ‘em along?
