Widely recognized companies as Microsoft, IBM, Evernote, and Google, have relied on a method known as Getting Things Done (GTD). David Allen, author of Getting Things Done. The Art of Stress-Free Productivity is the man behind GTD.
David went through a large number of professions that allowed him to understand the importance of having a concrete process, which allowed him to organize his ideas and escape the habit of starting many things and not being able to finish them. For him, much of the stress people feel that way, not because of all they have to do, it is because they have not finished what they started and because of this, it limits the term “psychic RAM.” What is it?
