This week, we’re sharing three simple mindset shifts that help you cut through the noise, see what’s real, and make better choices, so you can regain your balance and focus on what matters most.
See What’s Really Going On
When things feel turbulent, it’s easy to jump to conclusions, “Everyone’s leaving,” “This is awful,” “Nothing’s working.” But what if most of that was just noise? David Allen challenges you to pause and look at what’s actually true. By cutting out exaggerations and sticking to real, verifiable facts, you can make clearer, less stressful decisions.
Expectations vs Assumptions
Have you felt let down by someone recently, only to realize they never actually agreed to what you hoped they’d do? GTD coach Julie Ireland shares a simple strategy for turning silent expectations into clear agreements.
She explores how GTD principles help you spot assumptions, communicate openly, and reduce hidden causes of stress.
Time to Think Beyond Next Actions?
When your GTD system stops keeping up with your life, it might be time to look beyond next actions and projects. GTD coach Christina Armstrong shares how focusing only on the day-to-day left her feeling stretched too thin until she discovered the power of higher-horizon thinking.
Learn how our Strategy Program can help you filter new commitments more effectively, make better decisions in both your personal and professional life, and regain a greater sense of control.
