Get Things Done

Posted by admin under Wealth Secrets

When you wake up in the morning, you still feel tied and don’t even want to move your feet on the ground. But you have to drag yourself out of the bed. May be you have to wake up your children and send them to school(if that is your case). And then you have to rush to the traffic and get to work as quickly as you can. When you arrive in the office, you don’t feel like you are very ready to start your day. But it is 9:00 clock now, and everyone in the office starts working like a bull. You are still wondering where to start your day. Which task should you go first? While you are puzzling how to prioritize your to-do list, your phone ring and your boss wants to talk to you about your next project assignment…You feel overwhelming in your life.

How many of you have a day like this? I had many days like this in the past.

Now my days have changed dramatically after knowing a way to organize my life with a method called “Get Things Done”. It is a name of a book. And it is also a way of living your life with less stress and more happiness.

I know many of you may have read and heard of many productivity tips and time management skills before. You may say “Come on I don’t want to spend time to another new thing while I don’t have enough to complete my outstanding tasks”. If that is what you have in mind, then it is exactly why you need to know about this method.

But Get Things Done will not teach you how to sqeeze more to-do items in your list. Nor it will teach you to do things faster. It is a system to organize everything from your emails, letters, bills, your home chores, to office works, business plan, to even vacation plan with your family.

Get Things Done system is created by David Allen who is an international author, lecturer, and a productivity consultant. His system has been implemented by over a million professionals in organizations worldwide including many of the Fortune 500 corporations and U.S. government agencies.

One of the great benefits I received after implementing the Get Things Done(GTD) system is the peace of mind in everyday. With the GTD system, I am able to keep track of all the little things like paying bill, celebrate my family members birthday, to the important project activity like health building, business meeting, clients follow up, and strategic plan. Since the GTD system can 100% capture all the activity which David called ‘things’ clearly with simple easy access at my finger tips, I am able to plan my daily, weekly, and monthly activity with more focus without losing any of details. For important appointments, I will mark them on the online calendar with reminder sending to me via email precisely the exact time frame I determined in advance.

Does it sounds like something you have been searching for? The best part is you can learn this system with all the report and blogs online created by the users of GTD. To learn this system, you may not need to buy the book or other tools. In my case, I learn and use this system free.

To quickly learn about this GTD system, there are several good resources I have been using. Now, I want to share them with you so that you revolutionize your life like I did.

I wish you find them useful. And remember like other systems, it takes time for you to get it into a habit. But don’t put it down easily. I am sure you will enjoy more out of your life when you have peace of mind than living in a cluttered life.

Until the next time…

Dear Wealth Seeker,

I am so grateful to make this blog alive with this first post.

There are several reasons and purposes of making this blog. And I think you should know that for your interest to bookmark this blog and come back to this blog regularly.

There are many valuable information, knowledge, tools, and resources available on the internet waiting for people to leverage. Most of the time, we do not know where to get those treasure. With a right map, everyone should be able to get the treasure they want. With the long history of human existence, the goal you want should be already achieved by someone else in our history. So if we can get the right map from the person who have achieved what we want, we should be able to obtain our goal with certainty. The map you want should exist already. It is a matter of HOW to get the map first then to get what you want. Without the right map, we have to take the route of trial and error. That may work but it wasted a lot of time with the possibility that we can run out of time in the trail-and-error game.

So the purposes of this blog is to help you:
- to look at your existing map to see if that leads to where you want to go
- to substitute your map with the right map to help yourself to get the wealth, health, and happiness you want
- to speed up your time to find the right map with all the tools that I share with you in each post
- to obtian a wealthy, healthy, and happy life
- and then to share it with the people who need these tools

But I am not a perfect person. And I do make mistake everyday. Don’t be hesitate to make mistake. That is the valuable lesson I learn recently. Avoiding making mistake and doing everything things perfect before taking serious actions can keep you away from reaching your dream forever.
