David-Allen wants you to get things done!When you work from home, do you struggle to get things done?

The legendary productivity sage, David Allen, wants to inspire you to get things done working from home by clearing space in your head to focus on the work that matters to you most.

David is the author of the productivity bible, Getting Things Done. If you're struggling to get organized, definitely read this book if you haven't already!

I first read GTD over a decade ago and it gave me permission not to remember everything and to enjoy being in the present moment. Today I feel less anxious than ever before and more productive! David Allen’s advice will create more space for you to get things done.

Lot of great lessons in our conversation including:

  1. Why you might be addicted to ambient anxiety.
  2. How to stop using your head as a crappy office.
  3. David defines productivity as doing what matters, not simply doing more.
  4. Focus on regaining control of your daily life first.

“It’s all about where you focus, so are you comfortable about where you’re focused or not?”

“There’s an inverse relationship between ‘on your mind’ and ‘getting done.'”
