The Art Of Stress Free Productivity: David Allen

In this talk, David Allen the author of “The art of free-stress productivity” elucidate the technique of stressful productivity to stress-free productivity. According to the speaker in every persons life, comes a phase in which the productivity becomes low which impacts our life and everything becomes chaotic or unstable and this happens when we are not appropriately engaged with the problematic situations or due tasks or projects or any kind of health problem we face and in the end we all blame the situation on the lack of time . The crises leads us to overthinking or overreacting and the outcome of that is people tend to blame time for it.
In his talk David Allen said that the appropriate engagement is the real key. If a person focuses on the current task without engaging his or her attention to other tasks, he or she can accomplish it feasibly. He suggested three core principles to manage the mess in your life and that are perspective, time-management and control. If you do not keep your focus on the crisis, you will loose the perspective and become the victim of the circumstance and if you don’t work on the perspective part, you will surely loose the ability to control the situation. The last and the most important principle is time-management because if a person does his or her work with the undivided attention and don’t loose the track of a due time he will not become the victim of the crisis. 
In the end of the talk, David Allen tells us that to be able to get stuff off our mind we have to use our mind and to do it we have a proper procedure designed. Firstly get it all out on a peace of paper, write it down, all the stuff you have to do. Secondly elaborate the project and  what are the outcomes of the decision you have made and move forward to it. Lastly to accomplish it you need to build a map of all the projects, actions, decisions and outcomes, in this way you will give the appropriate engagement to the task and be able to control the perspective of the situation.
