"My mission is to create a world where there are no problems only projects."

-David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

-David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

-David Allen, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

When your operational behavior is grooved to organize everything that comes your way, at all levels, based upon those dynamics, a deep alignment occurs, and wondrous things emerge.
