The Librarian
Corner: Book feature of the Month Update
Hey
readers! We're almost there, for those of you
who haven't kept up,
here is a quick review of Part 1 Chapters 1 -3,
and Part 2 Chapters, 4-7.
Part 1 provided
us an outline for getting control of your life
through the five stages of mastering workflow:
collection, processing, organizing, reviewing
and doing.
Part 2, which is well over half the
book, goes much more into detail of Allen's methodology.
Allen tells us in Chapter 1 that "new behaviors
and tools are required to successfully manage
our everyday workflow."
Chapter 2 explains the five stages of mastering
your workflow: to collect, process, organize,
review and do while Chapter 3 focal point was
planning.
Chapter's 4 thru 7 gets you
started with preparing space and time before
collecting your stuff before deciding what to
do with it. Once processing is complete, one
needs a way to organize the output.
So, we move
on to Chapter 8, 9 and 10 where Allen states
that a "person is the most productive when
the mind is clear, free of what he calls "open
loops."
His idea is that the conscious mind is a focusing
tool, not a storage place."
Stay tuned, to Part Three and
the conclusion and of Getting Things Done:
The Art of Stress-Free Productivity from the
Librarian Corner at McElveen Library. Books,
DVDs, CD and Play-a-Away are available for
check out.
