Daily Boost Podcast Better Than A To-Do List September 17, 2026 | Episode 5544 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You like getting things done. You've got a to-do list, maybe two, and you still end the day wondering what actually moved. I did the same thing until a flight instructor changed one word for me, and it changed how I run my whole life. Today I'll show you the difference between chasing check marks and doing the three things that matter. It's old school. It takes about ten seconds a day. And it works whether you run a company, a household, or both. Listen, then try it before lunch. Featured Story When I learned to fly, I was in a Cessna 172 and I was terrified of the preflight. You're absorbing a hundred years of aviation in a few weeks, and there's a checklist for everything, because at five thousand feet a missed item is a real problem. So there I am walking the plane, reading, checking, reading, checking, knuckles white. My instructor watched me sweat and said, " You're stressing out. Stop reading the list. Look at the airplane and ask one question instead. Did I do it? I looked at the tail. Did I check that? Nope. Went and checked it. The gas tank. The landing gear. Something loosened in my chest. Important Points * A to-do list is a parking lot for everything that pops up. It is not the map you use to run the day in front of you. * Pick three things every morning that move you forward, and let the other hundred items on the list wait their turn. * Stop chasing check marks. Walk through your day backward and ask whether I do it, the same way a pilot walks the plane. Memorable Quotes * A lot of you are living on your to-do list, and I will tell you right now, that is not how you get things done. * Instead of chasing your check marks all day long, you're focused on three things that will move the bar forward. * Life gets in the way, and before you know it, you're focused on the check mark instead of what is really important. Scott's Three-Step Approach * Dump every recurring task and loose idea into one trusted list, so your head stops running the same open loops. * Open that list each morning and pull out the three items that actually move your life or your business forward. * Walk through your day asking, "Did I do it?" and handle whatever comes back nope before you chase anything else today. Chapters 0:15 - A taste of fall and a question about your list 1:03 - Face Your Passion opens with a founder's rate 3:01 - Why AI made you busier instead of more productive 3:46 - Open loops, David Allen, and why dumping works 4:46 - The flight instructor who fixed my preflight panic 6:54 - Only three things a day actually move the bar 9:38 - The quick recap you can use before lunch today Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify * Email: support@motivationtomove.com * Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com * YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast * Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith * Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove * Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

He walks through the collection bins, the daily processing pass, and the weekly and long-range reviews that hold the system together. The result is a productivity approach that turns amorphous obligations into a next action you can actually start. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://calnewport.com/a-whirlwind-tour-of-getting-things-done/ Quotes to ponder: "You don't do projects, you do specific actions."

My book, Productiveness, is now available. It's about the difference between doing more and doing what matters, and how we lost the ability to tell them apart. I'll send the release date the day it's set. Visit https://mikevardy.com/productiveness to learn more and get your copy today.Patrick's wife has an iPad mini she uses for exactly one thing: reading. She's never called it an iPad mini in her life. She calls it her Kindle — and she isn't confused, she's being precise. The name follows the job, not the packaging. That's the second time in two months we've stumbled into how the words people choose quietly reveal what a thing is actually for.This month's PM Talks opens there and lands on a question Patrick puts plainly about twenty minutes in: what problem does this solve? We get into Clayton Christensen's milkshake, why a tool that does everything usually does nothing especially well, why the unused device in the corner is a capital-P project you've been sitting on rather than a small privileged annoyance, and — less comfortably — what happens when you point that same question at a friendship, a marriage, or a default nobody ever asked you to agree to.Six Discussion PointsWhat people call a thing reveals what it's actually for; a device used only for reading becomes "her Kindle" regardless of what's printed on the box or which app is open.The jobs-to-be-done question cuts in both directions — it explains what you should buy, and it exposes what you're still holding onto that stopped doing its job a while ago.Deliberately refusing to install certain apps on a device is a forcing function, not a limitation; knowing what each device is for is what makes any of them work well.An unused device sitting in the corner isn't clutter, it's an open loop — and in David Allen's terms it's a full project with multiple tasks underneath it, not a single thing you can dash off.Capturing an open loop doesn't close it; what actually relieves the weight is having a plan and knowing the boundaries of the thing you captured.Asking what problem a relationship or a social default solves sounds cold, but it's really a prompt to notice when something has stopped doing the job you originally needed it to do — and to stop treating inherited arrangements as settled.Three Connection PointsRead more from Patrick Rhone at patrickrhone.comGrowth in ReverseGet ProductivenessThe move worth stealing from this one is Patrick's double-take in the Costco aisle: the walk past, the stop, the walk back. Most of us keep walking. Whether it's a device you've stopped using, a phone you pull out without deciding to, or an arrangement you've never actually questioned, the pause is the whole thing. What in your life is still there mostly because you never stopped to ask what it was for?

Heavyweight boxer Thomas Carty joined Eoin Sheahan in studio to talk about his recent fight against David Allen which was declared a no contest when Thomas got a blow to the back of the head and fell out of the ring. Thomas talked about the bad social media messages he has been getting, as well as what's next for him in his career after a disappointing weekend.

In this episode we're celebrating the 25 year anniversary of GTD

Please join Ann and Fedder, two members of the vibrant GTD community in Denmark, as they discuss a yearly GTD event that they call a refuge or retreat. It's an opportunity for a small group to have more inner-directed time for gaining perspective. Fedder and Ann relate how the idea developed, compare and contrast it with the annual Summer Camp, and explain the potential benefits. They even point out that the refuge is part of a well-rounded GTD practice that aligns with Danish philosopher Kierkegaard's adage that, "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards." Below the video player image please find the description from Fedder and Ann about the refuge. The description is an excellent complement to their spoken words.

I det här avsnittet av Strukturpodden tittar André och Erika tillbaka på årets mål halvvägs in i året och diskuterar vad som har fungerat och vad som är dags att påminna sig om. De delar också idéer om hur man kan förlänga sommarkänslan in i hösten genom att sprida ut semesteraktiviteter över året, planera in minisemestrar och börja jobbet lugnt. Avsnittet avslutas med tips på att dokumentera sommarens bästa stunder och en inbjudan att diskutera boken Få det gjort av David Allen.Fördela semesteraktiviteter över året – allt behöver inte göras under de få semesterveckorna. Saker som trädgårdsarbete, promenader och läsning kan spridas ut.Planera in minisemestrar – boka in åtta helger per år med något speciellt, t.ex. dagsutflykt, picknick eller besök i en ny stad. Det ger något att se fram emot.Ät utomhus även efter semestern – middag på altanen, frukost på balkongen eller lunchpromenad på jobbet förlänger sommarkänslan.Ta vara på ljusa och varma höstdagar – augusti och september kan fortfarande vara ljumma; gör kvällspromenader, cykelturer med barnen eller sitt ute mer.Börja jobbet lugnt – boka inte fullt med möten första dagen. Ta tid att prioritera och komma ikapp. Övergången från semester till arbete behöver vara gradvis.Kortare första arbetsdag – om möjligt, förkorta första dagen eller veckan när man är extra trött.Använd hösten som en ny start – se hösten som ett nytt projekt med nya rutiner ("höstlöften" i stället för nyårslöften).Ta vara på höstens färger och natur – plocka bär, njut av höstfärgerna, gör utomhusaktiviteter som passar säsongen.Tidig mysbelysning – börja med ljus, lyktor och lampor tidigare på hösten för att skapa stämning innan det blir riktigt mörkt.Flytta inomhusprojekt till vintern – renovera, måla utemöbler eller gör andra projekt som inte kändes motiverade under sommaren.Hitta små vardagsöar – stäng av tv och mobil några timmar, ta en kvällspicknick eller gör något som ger semesterkänsla även en vanlig veckodag.Schemalägg vanor som ger energi – lägg in träning, promenader eller läsning i kalendern och gör dem "icke förhandlingsbara". Det får flyttas men inte tas bort.Walk-and-talk-möten – gör medarbetarsamtal eller möten gående i stället för att sitta i ett rum.Dokumentera och utvärdera – spara bilder och anteckningar från sommaren, fundera på vad som gick bra och vad du vill ta med dig framåt. Skriv upp tips till nästa sommar.Se det positiva med jobbet – träffa kollegor, komma in i rutiner, få regelbundna mattider.Om du vantrivs – se möjligheterna – utforska nya arbetsuppgifter, byt jobb eller utnyttja omställningsstöd för att plugga något nytt.Veckans prova-på: Dokumentera vardagsgrejerna som ni vill fortsätta med även under hösten.Tankar om Få det gjort av David Allen?  Har du läst boken? Är det något du undrar om boken? Har du hört talas om boken? Är det något du håller med om i boken som har hjälpt dig mycket? Är det något du inte håller med om eller som inte har funkat för dig? Vi vill gärna höra alla era tankar om den boken! Skicka senast 31 augusti.Tips eller tankar?

David is one of the world's leading authorities on personal and organisational productivity. He is the creator of Getting Things Done, widely known as GTD, and the bestselling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, Ready for Anything and Making It All Work. His work has helped millions of people manage commitments, reduce mental overload and create greater clarity in their work and lives. David is the founder and chairman of the David Allen Company, which delivers GTD training and coaching around the world. More recently, he co-authored Team: Getting Things Done with Others, extending the principles of GTD into collaboration, leadership and shared work. This is the second time I have had the privilege of speaking with David. In our first conversation, we explored the foundations and practical application of GTD. This time, we look back at the origins and evolution of his work, consider how we sustain clarity in an increasingly complex world, and reflect on meaningful goals, attention, direction and what matters most now.

  Socrates, that wise philosopher of the 5th century BC, said: "The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less." And the consensus across the centuries has always been clear: happiness isn't a destination you reach by wanting or accumulating more, but a state of mind achieved by reducing what you want. This week, I'm exploring the common problem of wanting to do more and more, yet never finding the time to do what you want.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Perfect Week Calendar Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived   The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script |424 Hello, and welcome to episode 424 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  One of the most common questions I get asked is: How do I find the time to do everything I want to do?  And as David Allen said in his book Getting Things Done, you can do anything you want, but not everything.  In other words, you can do all the things you want to do, just not all at once.  This is a problem all humans have faced since the dawn of time: we are limited by the number of hours we have each day.  And before we acknowledged time and dates, we were still limited by daylight hours and the need to sleep.  In many ways, truly understanding that we will always be limited by time is the first step to discovering peace and happiness.  I remember many years ago having an argument with a colleague about why the iPhone's constraints were better than Android's lack of constraints. This was back in the day when you really didn't have many options for what you could add to an iPhone's home screen. The date and time, design, and colours were fixed, and the apps you downloaded were presented as Apple allowed them to be.  Android phones, on the other hand, let you download widgets, move your app icons wherever you wanted, and install thousands of different themes.  What was interesting is that my colleague was always fiddling with his phone. Never being happy with the way his home screen looked.  I had no choice. Which meant I wasn't fiddling with my phone all the time, trying to find the perfect setup and design. I was therefore happy with what I had.  Funnily enough, now that Apple does give us more choice as to how our phone home screens look, I do waste a lot of time trying to find the right colour combinations and layouts. (And I'm still not happy with it!) So with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question: This week's question comes from Scott. Scott asks: Hi Carl, I have a lot of things I want to do, such as learning to play the guitar, reading more books, and taking my kids out on the weekend. Yet I never have time to do any of these, and when I do, I'm so exhausted that all I want to do is sit and watch TV. It's so frustrating. Do you have any ideas on how to fit all these things into my week? Hi Scott, thank you for your question.  I'm not sure whether you have completed the “Perfect Week” calendar exercise yet, but I would recommend it.  This is an exercise where you take a blank weekly calendar and map out all the things you want to do each week by when you will do them.  Start with your personal life, then add your professional life. I will put a link in the show notes to a video I did on this.  This exercise tells you whether you are being overambitious. You will quickly see if what you want to do is realistic, impossible, or somewhere in between.  What most people find when they do this exercise is that they are being wildly unrealistic.  I'm currently reading Sir Alan Lascelles' diaries from 1940 to 1945. Sir Alan was the Private Secretary to King George VI at that time, and it's interesting to see how he spent his days. Sir Alan loved going to the theatre, gardening and reading books. Those were his main hobbies. However, being a senior member of the Royal Household, he was also in demand from the King and the government of the day.  Yet, what I learned is that even during the war, because his “interests” were small, he was able to maintain all of them.  Take gardening, for example; Sir Alan's home was outside London. So during the week when he was required to stay at Buckingham Palace, he could not attend to his garden. But at weekends, when he was not travelling with the King, he would spend his days pottering about in his garden.  During the week, when he was in London, he would combine lunches and dinners with meetings with government officials, and maintain his social life by going to the theatre with friends and family.  Now, in those days, people engaged in what we would call “knowledge work” today had much more flexible hours.  Most mornings were spent doing their most important work. The work that required focus.  One thing Sir Alan did each day was take a walk with the King for an hour, where they would discuss the affairs of state. In many ways, this was their daily meeting, though neither of them really considered it one.  This walk invariably took place just before lunch.  Lunch, again, was usually business, but occasionally it would be with his wife or son, or a friend.  Afternoons were often meetings, and they ran into dinners. From the diaries, it seemed that most evenings were spent meeting with a colleague or an official to discuss business.  If he didn't have a business meeting in the evening, he would go to the theatre with his wife or a friend.  What's interesting about this way of living is that there were no real-time barriers between work and personal life. Some of those evening meetings went on into the early hours of the morning; other times, if there were no meetings in the afternoon or evening, people would go shopping or take afternoon tea with a family member or friend.  There were instances where an important communique needed to be written, and Sir Alan would be up late at night writing it.  I would say that Sir Alan was working around 50 hours a week, but they were not evenly distributed. Some days he'd work 18 hours, the next maybe only 4.  Our obsession with the “work-life balance” has distorted our lives. Now we are trying to cram so much into our 8-hour work day that we leave ourselves exhausted at the end of it.  There's no energy left to do the things we want to do. All we are fit for is crashing on the sofa and watching TV or scrolling our social media feeds.  What people like Sir Alan did was to spread their work more evenly throughout the day. They would take a walk for an hour mid-morning, have long lunches with friends, have business meetings in the evening over dinner, and often work on an important piece of work late into the night.  Now, it's true that in the 1940s TV was not a thing. All people had for entertainment were the radio and record players. So reading books, going to the theatre with friends, and gardening were likely easy to do. Today, we do not have any more time than they had in the 1940s. We still have the same 24 hours a day.  What has changed is we have far more options than they had.  And that's where the problem is. It's not time. It's the options we have.  The activities you mention, Scott, should be entirely possible. Spending an hour or so each evening playing the guitar should not be a challenge; neither should reading a book for 30 minutes before bed.  If you were to get home around 7:00 pm, have dinner with your family, and then practice the guitar around 8:30, would that be impossible?  If not, what would you do instead after dinner?  Likewise, if you want to take your kids out at the weekend, what's stopping you? What are you doing instead?  One of the best things I've ever done was to strip out the artificial lines between doing my work and my personal life.  Now, I do my most important work in the mornings and, wherever I can, avoid meetings at that time. I keep the afternoons relatively free for chores and family outings and do some work between 8 and 10 pm. That could be meetings, project work, or dealing with my communications and admin. I've recently started reading books for 30 minutes or so after lunch. I find it refreshes me, and I'm ready for whatever's in store for me in the afternoons. I used to read the news or look at social media at that time, which often drained me mentally. Reading a book does the opposite.  I've noticed that with my team too.  We don't have any regulated work times in the company. People can work whenever they feel like it. My Marketing Manager likes to do her work early in the morning; my video editor prefers the evenings.  We work on timelines. For example, I supply my video editor with that week's videos on a Wednesday afternoon, and she has until Sunday evening to complete the edits.  As the boss, the only thing I care about is receiving the edited videos no later than Sunday evening.  The final issue most people face is wanting to do too much.  Reading Dorothy L. Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey books, we learn that Lord Peter had two hobbies. Playing the piano and collecting books. When he's had an exhausting day or was stressed about something, he would either pick up a book or play the piano. They were his go-to relaxation methods.  What do we do today? We get ourselves stressed out because we want to learn to play the violin, take up pickleball, go to the movies with our friends or our partner, learn to cook, clean out the wardrobe, redecorate the bedroom, read more books, and write in a journal every day.  Well, you can do any of those things, just not all of them all at the same time.  The problem is when we are faced with too many choices, we end up doing none of them. Instead, we'll end up crashed in an armchair scrolling.  One thing you can do if you have multiple things you want to do is divide them into seasons.  For example, if gardening is something you want to do, you could spend your time gardening on longer, warmer days. On the colder, shorter days, you could switch to indoor activities.  So Scott, first I would suggest doing the “perfect Week” calendar. That will tell you how much time you actually have for all the things you want to do.  Then be a little more flexible with how you divide your time in the day. Squeezing all your work tasks into a single 8-hour slot is exhausting. Try to break up your day with longer breaks. I know not everyone can do that, but it is something worth trying if you can. You'll be a lot less exhausted in the evenings.  Finally, be realistic about what you want to do. Remember you can do anything, but you cannot do everything.  I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question, and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

In this episode, Ricardo compares a project to a disorganized email inbox, full of messages, decisions, and pending tasks without proper handling. He explains that many projects don't face difficulties due to a lack of resources or schedule flaws, but because of the accumulation of actions, risks, requests, and decisions without follow-up. To deal with this problem, he presents the principles of the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology, created by David Allen, which is based on the idea that the human mind should generate ideas, not store them. Ricardo highlights five fundamental steps: capturing information, clarifying necessary actions, organizing responsibilities, regularly reviewing records, and executing priorities. Applied to projects, these principles help reduce chaos, increase productivity, and improve decision-making. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo compara um projeto a uma caixa de e-mails desorganizada, repleta de mensagens, decisões e pendências sem tratamento adequado. Ele explica que muitos projetos não enfrentam dificuldades por falta de recursos ou por falhas no cronograma, mas pelo acúmulo de ações, riscos, solicitações e decisões sem acompanhamento. Para lidar com esse problema, apresenta os princípios da metodologia GTD (Getting Things Done), criada por David Allen, que parte da ideia de que a mente humana deve gerar ideias, e não armazená-las. Ricardo destaca cinco etapas fundamentais: capturar informações, esclarecer ações necessárias, organizar responsabilidades, revisar regularmente os registros e executar as prioridades. Aplicados aos projetos, esses princípios ajudam a reduzir o caos, aumentar a produtividade e melhorar a tomada de decisões. Escute o podcast para saber mais!

If 82% of people lack a time management system and the average worker spends half their day on low-value tasks, what's the real cost of doing nothing about it? In this episode, Brandon Laws sits down with bestselling author Peter Economy, who has written over 140 books, to dig into his latest release, Wait, You Need a Win? The Essential Guide to Time Management, Productivity, and Powerful Habits That Get Things Done. From the neuroscience behind habit formation to the Rocks, Pebbles, and Sand framework, Peter shares practical, immediately actionable strategies for anyone who has ever ended the day wondering where the time went. If you've been meaning to get more intentional about how you work and live, this conversation is your sign. Key Timestamps: [00:01] Welcome Back, Peter Economy Brandon introduces return guest Peter Economy and his latest book on time management and productivity. [00:54] Why 82% of People Still Don't Have a System Peter explains why most people avoid time management and how ingrained habits keep us stuck in low-value routines. [02:17] The Real Cost of Poor Time Management Research shows the average employee loses about 500 hours per year to unproductive work. Peter breaks down what that means for individuals, teams, and organizations. [03:24] Phones, Interruptions, and the 23-Minute Rule The average person picks up their phone 96 times a day, and a single interruption costs over 23 minutes of refocus time. The numbers are hard to argue with. [07:03] The Paradox of Time We think we have all the time in the world. Peter explains why that illusion is one of the biggest obstacles to getting anything meaningful done. [08:26] Working from Home Like You Mean It Remote and hybrid workers face a unique challenge: the people around them don't always see them as "really working." Peter shares how to establish non-negotiable work boundaries at home. [10:50] Designing Habits Using Neuroscience New habits mean new brain pathways. Peter walks through how to intentionally build routines that actually stick, starting small and building over time. [13:18] The Right Way to Use a To-Do List More tasks do not mean more productivity. Peter makes the case for limiting your daily list to three to five high-priority goals and why that constraint is a feature, not a limitation. [16:03] David Allen's Getting Things Done Framework Peter explains the five-step GTD methodology (capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage) and why it remains one of the most effective systems for managing commitments. [17:46] Why "No" Is a Time Management Strategy People-pleasing has deep roots, and learning to say no is harder than it sounds. Peter shares how taking on one too many projects changed his approach for good. [21:21] Protecting Your Calendar from Meetings You Don't Need Research suggests around 76% of meetings are ineffective. Peter offers a framework for protecting your time by declining meetings that don't warrant your presence. [23:05] The Rocks, Pebbles, and Sand Framework One of the most visual concepts in the book: why tackling your biggest priorities first is the only way to make sure they actually get done. [25:14] Rest as a Productivity Tool Powering through is overrated. Peter makes the case for taking real breaks, getting outside, and prioritizing sleep as essential parts of a high-performance routine. [27:17] Using AI to Save Time From Otter AI for meeting transcription and action items to organizing project files in Claude, Peter and Brandon trade practical tips for using AI tools to reclaim hours in your week. [31:01] Is It Your System, or Is It Your Work? Peter closes with the most important question: if you're chronically unproductive, the problem might not be your framework. It might be that you're not doing work you actually care about.

Have you ever felt like your head is a browser with 47 tabs open, none of them loading, and you can't figure out why you feel so scattered and behind even when you're working harder than ever? Yeah. This episode is going to hit you right where it counts. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with David Allen, the bestselling author of "Getting Things Done" and the creator of the GTD methodology that has genuinely changed how millions of people think about productivity. With over three million books sold across 30 plus countries, David is one of the most influential voices in personal effectiveness on the planet. He's also a husband, a dog dad, a student of Zen, a former karate black belt, a guy who had 35 jobs before the age of 35, and someone who has been living his best life in Amsterdam for the last 12 years. Oh, and he just turned 80 and still does everything he teaches. That detail alone stopped me in my tracks. What makes this episode matter is that David doesn't talk about productivity as a hustle metric. He talks about it as a path to mental freedom. From the moment he started consulting entrepreneurs and CEOs in the 80s, he noticed one universal pattern: people were trying to use their brains as their office, and it was quietly wrecking them. We talk about why ambient anxiety is the silent epidemic no one's addressing, how the modern world has multiplied the volume of inputs to an almost unbearable level, and why the most productive thing you can do has nothing to do with working harder. Here are a few powerful takeaways from this conversation: Your brain is a terrible office, and it's time to stop treating it like one. David makes it crystal clear that your mind was not built to remember, remind, prioritize, or manage the relationships between more than about four things at once. When you try to hold more than that in your head, you end up driven by whatever is latest and loudest, not by what actually matters. Getting things out of your head and into a trusted system isn't just productivity advice. It's a mental health practice. Ambient anxiety is real, and most of us are addicted to it. This one landed hard for me. David describes ambient anxiety as that low grade hum of stress that comes from unprocessed commitments. It's not the kind of overwhelm that forces action. It's the kind you just learn to live with, until you decide you don't want to anymore. Most people never get a reference point for what it actually feels like to have nothing on your mind except what you want on it. That clarity is available to you, and this episode shows you how to get there. Capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage. In that order, every time. The GTD methodology is five steps, and David walks through each one in a way that finally makes it click. The biggest mistake most people make is skipping the clarify step, collecting tasks without ever deciding what they actually mean or what the next action is. Outcome thinking plus action thinking, together, is the engine of real productivity. Miss either one, and you end up with either a dream that goes nowhere or busyness that produces nothing. Reflection isn't a luxury. It's the step that holds everything together. David recommends a thorough weekly review of all your commitments, not because it's a nice habit, but because without it your system goes stale and your trust in it collapses. When you reflect consistently, you've already done the thinking. In the moment, you just pick and shoot. That's the kind of clear, confident decision making we all want, and it starts with scheduled stillness. The two minute rule is still one of the most underrated productivity moves out there. If something takes less than two minutes, do it now. David told me he has zero backlog of two minute tasks because they're already done. Walk around your house right now and notice how many little things are nagging at you that would take under two minutes to fix. Do them. Your environment will feel completely different, and so will your head. We also get into the six horizons of thinking, how "channel creep" is quietly overwhelming your focus, what David would tell his younger self, his take on procrastinating the things you love most, and the publishing advice he wishes more aspiring authors knew before writing their first word. This episode is a reminder that happy hustling isn't about doing more. It's about being appropriately engaged with everything you've committed to, so you can actually show up fully for the things and people that matter most. If you're ready to clear the mental clutter, trust yourself more, and finally build a system that works with your brain instead of against it, this conversation is for you. What does Happy Hustlin' mean to you? David kept it perfectly simple, the way only someone who's spent decades thinking about this stuff can. He said it means relax, trust yourself, and have fun. That's it. Do the work, stay curious, and don't take yourself so seriously that you forget to enjoy the ride. Head over to https://caryjack.com/podcastin/ to listen to the full episode.

Our recent Office Hour discussion had a surprise visitor ? David Allen! He caught us up on the dual celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the publication of Getting Things Done and his 80th birthday. We talked about where, and whether, to keep reminders for various household tasks, the shifting "weight" of areas of focus over time, and how paper capture endures.

David has a conversation with Dr. Julie Flagg, who discusses her GTD journey, including her significant decision to retire. Julie has been a GTD enthusiast since 2000, when she met David in Boston. She talks about how she has adapted her system to the change from a busy medical practice to an equally busy retirement. Julie still applies all the GTD best practices, including the two-minute rule. Introducing Julie for this interview, David mentions her presentation at the GTD Summit in 2019.

David has a fascinating conversation with Charles Duhigg, whose new book is Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. Charles says, "With the right tools, we can connect with anyone."

In this wide-ranging conversation, David and Gina DiRoma cover a variety of GTD topics. They even get around to GTD and improvisational comedy. Gina is the Corporate Events and Sales Director at SAK Comedy Lab, where the motto is "we make stuff up." That's a perfect complement to David's phrase, "Make it up, make it happen."

David Allen, creator of the Getting Things Done methodology, shares the unconventional path that led him from 35 jobs before 35, drug experimentation, and a childhood fascination with magic to becoming the godfather of modern productivity. He explains why your brain evolved for pattern recognition, not task management, and breaks down his capture-clarify-organize-reflect-engage framework. Hosted on Acast.
