Getting Things Done
Recently, I finished David Allen’s book about stress-free productivity Getting Things Done (GTD), which I initially started in September 2008 in San Francisco. I actually wonder, why I didn’t finish it earlier 
.
The book describes a way how to work in an organized manner by putting everything you always wanted to do on a sheet of paper. All these sheets and everything, which has no well-defined place or task lands in the so-called Inbox. During the implementation phase, the Inbox ressembles a huge pile of mess. The hardest task is to go through the pile and decide for every single thing an action item, a project, file it, or through it away.
During the implementation phase, I completely cleaned my desk at the office (see images below). Same story at home.

Now, let’s see how it will look after 3 months. Stay tuned!
