The organizing system merely provides placeholders for all your oprn loops and options so your mind can... make the necessary intuitive, moment-to-mo… - David Allen

You can try it for yourself right now, if you like. Choose one project that is new or stuck or that could simply use some improvement. Think of your purpose. Think of what a successful outcome would look like: where would you be physically, financially, in terms of reputation, or whatever? Brainstorm potential steps. Organize your ideas. Decide on the next actions. Are you any clearer about where you want to go and how to get there?

Staying in control daily, weekly, & yearly requires different things for each. Handling one doesn't handle the others.

Being in control isn't forceful manipulation but rather highly cooperative engagement w/ what's really going on.
