You need to trust your calendar as sacred territory, reflecting the exact hard edges of you day’s commitments…

…how you decide to group your projects is not nearly as critical as ensuring that your inventory is complete, current, and assessed sufficiently to get it off you mind.

…there’s a big difference between something that’s managed well, as a Someday/Maybe list, and something that’s just a catchall bucket for stuff.

Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation. To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment. Go some distance away, because work will be in perspective and a lack of harmony is more readily seen. – Leonardo DaVinci

…people are actually more comfortable dealing with surprises and crises than they are taking control of processing, organizing, reviewing, and assessing that part of their work that is not as self-evident.

Getting things done, and feeling good about it, means being willing to recognize, acknowledge, and appropriately engage with all the things within the ecosystem of your consciousness.

Taking the inventory of your current work at all levels will automatically produce greater focus, alignment, and sense of priorities.

When people… notice that without fail you receive, process, and organize in an airtight manner the exchanges and agreements they have with you, they begin to trust you in a unique way.

…capturing placeholders for anything that is incomplete or unprocessed… noticeably enhances your mental well-being and improves the quality of your communications and relationships…

The price people pay when they break an agreement in the world is the disintegration of trust in the relationship – an automatic negative consequence.
