David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, states that in order to get things done, one needs to get into a calm state of mind. Instead of trying to go a million miles an hour, the key is to slow relax and down-shift into a productive state of mind:
One of the most subtle ways the better aspect of us retreats is in busy-ness. Losing perspective in trying to control everything, finish it all, fix it all—all at once. Getting things done out of frustration instead of inspiration. Helping out of compulsion, not compassion.Ok, this might sound a bit like a throwback to the 60's, but I think he has a point; to get to your best productive state he says to loosen your grip, quiet down, and give into a sense of surrender and acceptance. Three Cheers For Sloth, Indolence, And Procrastination! [The Huffington Post]
