David Allen Done Quotations

Why do people complain that there's no time to get their work done? Because there is more work to do than the work they think they have to do.

There is usually an inverse proportion between how much something is on your mind and how much it´s getting done!

At at any point in time, knowing what has to get done, and when, creates a terrain for maneuvering.

Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does.

You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you can call it "done.

Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined.

Small things done consistently, in strategic places, create major impact.
