Different level Quote by David Allen
““to get there. Unfortunately, that’s backward in terms of how our minds work to generate and recognize solutions and methods. You often need to make it up in your mind before you can make it happen in your life. One of the most powerful skills in the world of knowledge work, and one of the most important to hone and develop, is creating clear outcomes. This is not as self-evident as it may sound. We need to constantly define (and redefine) what we’re trying to accomplish on many different levels, and consistently reallocate resources””
