"Getting Things Done" is such an incredible work and I am excited that David Allen has shared his brilliance with us.
My favorite part of this book is the end result: A clear mind with the space to be creative. The premise is simple; until you take all of your open commitments (and next actions) and get them out of your brain into a trusted source, you will not have the ability to reach your maximum creative potential. Beyond that this book is about eliminating all forms of clutter from your life including the mental clutter of all the broken commitments your brain is reminding you that you need to keep.
I still remember the first time I went through my capture process. I was on a plane and I had about 2 hours to think about all of my open commitments and digest them into a trusted system ( I currently use the most amazing GTD(Getting Things Done) system that works on your iPhone and Mac: OmniFocus ) That night I went home with some of the most creative thoughts I have had and ways to make my life better. I have been so excited to read this book again as it has helped me get back on my GTD horse.
What have you done to make sure that your mind has the uninterrupted space to be creative? I am interested in how GTD has changed the way you manage your commitments?
