David Allen, author of "Getting Things Done, The Art of Stress-Free Productivity," says people can’t — and shouldn’t try — to multitask. Overwhelmed project managers can apply his framework to clear the daily clutter that often distracts them from focusing on the most important tasks at hand.
A project is a complicated endeavor to manage and lead. As a project manager, you have to deal with a myriad of tasks. One minute you might be ordering software to run the project and the next minute documenting requirements from your end-user. To be successful, you have to effectively organize and complete your tasks on a daily basis.
In his book Getting Things Done, The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, David Allen provides an approach for organizing and completing the tasks that a project manager, or any busy person, faces. The underlying principle, says Allen, is to “get stuff off your mind,” in order to complete tasks efficiently.
Allen gives a fairly broad definition of a project as “an outcome requiring more than one action.” However, the level of planning required to complete a particular project depends greatly on the individual.
