Productivity Freak

Si bien recién voy a mitad de camino de Getting Things Done, recomendando hace tiempo por el Economist para mejorar mi productividad, a través de Lifehacker caigo en un artículo interesante sobre el libro que identifica varios de sus conceptos básicos:

Widely abbreviated as GTD, Allen's method of getting things done focuses on two basic concepts. The first is that by dumping all the tasks floating around in our heads (everything from "buy toothpaste" to "write strategic plan") onto paper or into software, and then sorting them into a system of lists, we become better able to deal with the unexpected crises that disrupt our days. The second is that the complex projects that populate our to-do lists (say, "hire marketing manager") should be broken into granular "next actions" ("e-mail recruiter" and "call HR about firing current one"). Other closely followed tenets include a well-sorted filing system, a two-hour "weekly review," and that most holy of GTD grails: an empty e-mail in-box.

Vengo practicando varios de estos preceptos desde hace siglos (¡reconozco, por ejemplo, la obsesión por el inbox vacío!) y espero salir a evangelizar a las huestes descreídas y desorganizadas cuando termine el libro.
