My favorite quotes from the beginning of the book!
“Your head is for having ideas-not for holding them!”
“Getting Things Done is not simply about getting things done. It’s about being appropriately engaged with your work and life.”
“This is the vaccination against day-to-day firefighting (the so-called urgent and crisis demands of any given workday) and an antidote for the imbalance many people bring upon themselves.”
“mind like water. Imagine throwing a pebble into a still pond. How does the water respond? The answer is, totally appropriately to the force and mass of the input; then it returns to calm. It doesn’t overreact or underreact.” page 12
“You must use your mind to get things off your mind.” page 14
“Getting things done requires two basic components: defining (1) what “done” means (outcome) and (2) what “doing” looks like (action).” page 21
