FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
Irvine, California – June 16, 2010 – In episode number 160 of the Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman interviews David Allen, author of Getting Things Done and Making It All Work. David is an expert in personal and organizational productivity and highly recognized in the corporate environment due to his executive coaching efforts and book publications. In this episode, David lends his expertise on ways people can get their lives under control and how to decide what to do, which include the five steps to getting a situation under control and six steps to deciding how to achieve the ending goal. In today’s atmosphere, David finds that people are unorganized and uninspired, and he offers his expertise on how to get “control” and “perspective” in their lives.
David raises the question, “when you have a good day, what did you get done?” The question is asked to simply explain that we are inspired and highly focused when we have good days, and the idea is to replicate the process. Once people define what “done” looks like, they are able to train themselves how to make those outcomes a part of their routine. In Getting Things Done, David breaks down the five steps to getting a situation under control, and in this episode he explains that the steps are: capture, clarify, organize, review and engage. Once any given situation is under control, a person must decide the things they need to do in order to achieve their end goal, and David states that their are six steps to this process. These steps are organized by altitude, starting the view from 50,000 feet, the “big picture” view, and ending at ground level, the actions to achieve short term objectives.
The theory of “captain and commander” is also further discussed in this podcast, which sheds light on the steps to getting things done. The series of five and six steps lead to achieving the state of “control” and “perspective” and are the key attributes that enables a captain and commander to steer the ship through the rough ocean waters to its final destination. David explains that, as people, we all need the right amount of control and the right amount of focus in order to be a captain and commander and navigate all the way to achieving the end goal.
