The Get Things Done book

Just finished “The Get Things Done” book by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler. What I loved about it:

1️⃣ It’s not just another book to “help you be more productive” but more to help you focus on what is more meaningful and important to you, as well as what can create more value for you and others.

2️⃣ It’s full of practical tips that you can try out straight away and implement in your daily work or personal life.

For example, I loved the 5-25 rule which helps you answer the following questions:

1. Have I fulfilled my potential?

2. Have I spent my life doing something I love?

3. Have I got my priorities right?

What you need to do is write down 25 things you want to achieve. Then pick only 5 and strikethrough the rest. Now focus on those 5! We can’t do everything.

You can use this for life plans or year long work plans etc. It helps you prioritize what you really want to achieve and work on.

Thoroughly recommend for anyone looking to see how they can do things differently and more effectively.
