Anything

What is “it”? What is your anything? What have you decided to focus on?

You can do anything, but not everything.    ( David Allen)

“Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. —Saint Francis of Assisi”

“Getting things done requires two basic components: defining (1) what “done” means (outcome) and (2) what “doing” looks like (action).” David Allen

“Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex and intelligent behavior. Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple and stupid behavior. —Dee Hock”

“As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. —Ralph Waldo Emerson”

“When a culture adopts “What’s the next action?” as a standard operating query, there’s an automatic increase in energy, productivity, clarity, and focus.” David Allen

“The beginning is half of every action- Greek Proverb”

Imagine Simon and Garfunkel plays softly in the background…

But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony

where my thought’s escaping
where my music’s playing
where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

You can do anything, but not everything. What will it be?
