We suffer the stress of infinite opportunity: There are so many things that we could do, and all we see are people who seem to be performing at star quality. It's very hard not to try to be like them. The problem is, if you get wrapped up in that game, you'll get eaten alive. You can do anything-but not everything. The universe is full of creative projects that are waiting to be done. So, if you really care about quality of life, if you want to relax, then ... control your aspirations. That will simplify things. Learni

The great secret about goals and visions is not the future they describe but the change in the present they engender.

In Ireland we have a very old saying, When you can see the mountains it's going to rain and when you can't see the mountains it's raining.

Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.

Without a gut-level sense that you are ultimately in control of what's happening to you, you won't even consider the option that you could manage it better.

'I need milk' and 'I need to d...

'I need milk' and 'I need to decide whether to buy this company' both tie up space in psychic RAM. The solution is simple. Write it down. Look at it. Do it or say to yourself 'not now'.

Most people feel best about th...

Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.

Distracting reactions about anything undermine a clear mind about anything else.

If you don't fall off the wagon regularly, you're not playing a big enough game.

The sense of anxiety and guilt...

The sense of anxiety and guilt doesn't come from having too much to do; it's the automatic result of breaking agreements with yourself.

If you don't pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves.

Trust yourself to do what you ...

Trust yourself to do what you really feel like doing, and what you feel like doing will change. Don't, and it will plague you.

You can do anything, but not everything.

Most often, the reason somethi...

Most often, the reason something is 'on your mind' is that you want it to be different than it currently is, and yet: you haven't clarified exactly what the intended outcomes is; you haven't decided what the very next physical action step is; and/or you haven't put reminders of the outcome and the action required in a system you trust. That's why it's on your mind.

David Allen 149 quotes

First of all, if it's on your ...

First of all, if it's on your mind, your mind isn't clear. Anything you consider unfinished in any way must be captured in a trusted system outside your mind, or what I call a collection bucket, that you know you'll come back to regularly and sort through.

Your ability to generate power is directly proportional to your ability to relax

You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you can call it 'done.

Small things done consistently, in strategic places, create major impact.

David Allen 149 quotes

Decision-making when things sh...

Decision-making when things show up instead of when they blow up is actually a habit that can be developed and enhanced. The trick is to get used the clean feeling of having decided, instead of sitting on a fence.
