"More than 80 percent of people polled in a 2010 survey said being organized improved their work performance. Being organized may lead to feeling more in control and having more mental energy." This pitch for getting organized was made by Sarah Klein in her Huffington Post article, "14 Habits of Ultra-Organized People". One of the habits on the list was "They capture, calendar, and contain":
"Annette Reyman, president of the Philadelphia chapter of National Association of Professional Organizers, says, 'Organized people capture everything from events to ideas to requests from others, and its usually done on a list. If it's a recurring event or something with a certain deadline, they are likely to do their capturing on a calendar. And they arm themselves with the appropriate physical containers to make physical items easy to capture. Organized people won't throw a bunch of something into one empty basket. It's going to be a system where, when you have to go back to it, it's easily accessible.'"
In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country.
Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential.
