Quotes

• “First of all, if it's on your mind, your mind isn't clear. Anything you consider unfinished in any way must be captured in a trusted system outside your mind, or what I call a collection bucket, that you know you'll come back to regularly and sort through.”
• “Most often, the reason something is "on your mind" is that you want it to be different than it currently is, and yet:&bull; you haven't clarified exactly what the intended outcomes is;&bull; you haven't decided what the very next physical action step is;&bull; and/or you haven't put reminders of the outcome and the action required in a system you trust.That's why it's on your mind.”
• “Here's how I define "stuff": anything you have allowed into your psychological or physical world that doesn't belong where it is, but for which you haven't yet determined the desired outcome and the next action step.”
• “Before you can achieve... you'll need to get in the habit of keeping nothing on your mind... not by managing time, managing information, or managing priorities. ...Instead, the key ...is managing your actions. ...[T]he real problem is a lack of clarity and definition about what a project really is, and what the associated next-action steps required are.”
• “The big problem is that your mind keeps reminding you of things when you can't do anything about them. It has no sense of past or future.”
• “If you're waiting to have good ideas before you have any ideas, you won't have many ideas.”
