When I find great content, I like to share it with you. I am a massive David Allen fan as I believe  he is incredibly wise about productivity and personal organisation.

I have recently been watching this Ted Talk titled 'Getting in control and creating space.' I believe it will show you just why so many people are disorganised and suffer from poor time management.

Key Takeaways

  • If you want to achieve something, you need to plan.
  • When you don't plan, you leave everything to the last minute and you end up stressed and rushed.
  • We are naturally great planners
  • Unfortunately, at some stage in our life, we have been taught bad, unnatural planning methods which cause many of our organisational and productivity problems.
  • You will end up planning the right way but if you don't do so from the start, you will end up experiencing stress and spending a lot of unnecesary time, energy and money.

Get organised and focused so that you have all the information you need to make the right decisions about your priorities.
