Getting Things Done is a personal productivity method that is easy to learn as everything it teaches is common sense, yet it can be difficult to put into practice, at least at first. There are a number of habits you need to implement, and creating habits you don’t have can be hard.

Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, as well as a Nazi concentration camp survivor, wrote the book Man’s Search for Meaning. In it, he analysed man’s capacity to overcome his difficulties from a psychiatric point of view. He explains that all human beings, unlike animals, have self-awareness and the ability to act on the basis of that awareness. This means that we’re capable of responding to a stimulus in a completely different way to what our instincts suggest and even to what we have been taught.

Many people perceive a new year as a new opportunity to make things better. It’s a time of resolutions. However, these are nothing more than wishes that won’t be fulfilled unless you define clear goals and actions to carry them out.

This is due to the achievement of a level of harmony between goals and the result. How do you get it? Very simple! You need to follow our advice and develop good habits.
