Recently, I got some really good advice from my friends, advisors, and family closest to me. I found myself really overwhelmed with all of the different demands over my own time. I found myself looking at this massive list of priorities which all felt equally important and I couldn’t decide where to begin.
Dave Allen introduces techniques to organize life's tasks, keep track of everything, and set priorities. In fact, he starts with identifying what is important on the highest level, at "50,000 feet." With this as a guide, go about setting immediate tasks up. Work focus is in the "now." And the goal on the runway is to be spending your time - fully engaged - on what is the best application of your time, now.
Definitely one of the best posts I've ever read from you!
I received your newsletter and save the link in my Notes. I'll save it again to read again in a few weeks because it's really great.
Great post. Your points apply to many of us striking our own path in the Information Age.
I highly recommend the "Getting Things Done" method.
