In the first 3 days I removed two boxes of clutter from my office and had everything whittled down to an "inbox" that consisted of a manila folder about an inch thick. I also started using Vitalist, which is an online GTD-based tool to manage all of my tasks, ticklers, projects, etc. Within a week, I had "emptied my head". I read David’s book two months ago.

Priority Investment - that is where I see leaders heading. Pick a very, very small number of priorities (like 2) and invest your time on getting them done. So often times, people put together plans that have weak measures or measures that can't be derived from their current systems so they start out to fail. Keep it simple - decide what is important - establish how to measure it - assign one person to own it - update progress - learn - repeat (with better results expected). Time Management is Dead.
