Uniquely Brilliant Podcast

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.
