Becky and Diana continue to explore David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done, this time focusing on planning a project.
- Project - An outcome that requires more than one step.
- 90% of the work we do each day should be the next step of a project.
- We tend to react to our day instead of planning it out.
- Establishing a purpose for a project drives it and keeps it going.
- “People love to win. If you’re not totally clear about the purpose of what you’re doing, you have no game to win.” – David Allen
- In order for a multi-person project to work, everyone needs to agree on the vision (the intended outcome).
- A strong vision gives us an idea of what our completed project will look like.
- Brainstorming allows us to generate many ideas to work from.
- When we capture our brainstorming, we have even more ideas.
- Organize only to the detail that you need to.
- Plans are not always linear.
- Reviewing the plan is a key piece of planning.
