Stress-free productivity does exist

Deadlines are approaching. An absent employee forces you to reassign work to others who are already complaining. An email has arrived that changes the direction of your day. You can’t keep up with your text messages. The printer just ran out of ink and no one knows why there aren’t more toner cartridges in the office.

Process and clarify are the two names by which the second stage of the GTD workflow is known.

Multitasking is a myth, at least in human beings. It turns out that this ability to carry out various things at the same time that some gladiators of modern life seem to have doesn’t exist as such.

Many companies design open work spaces so that all employees are in constant communication, since they believe that higher collaboration will allow them to be more productive. Group brainstorming dynamics are used again and again as a mechanism to get more and better ideas about any subject. In our society, and especially in the business world, while cooperative group work is very much appreciated, individual work is undervalued.

If you follow the GTD philosophy in your personal organization you already know that one of its most important principles is to capture quickly and without thinking every thing what comes to your mind, so that you can continue with what you were doing without distractions.
