Getting Things Done

How Much Collection Is Required?
You'll feel better collecting 
anything 
that you haven't collected yet.
When you say to yourself, "Oh, that's right, I need to get butter
next time I'm at the store," and you write it on your grocery list,
you'll feel better. When you remember, "I've got to call my banker
about the trust fund," and you write that down someplace where
you know you'll see it when you're at a phone, you'll feel better.
But there will be a light-year's difference when you know you
have it 
all.
When will you know how much you have left in your head to
collect? Only when there's nothing left. If some part of you is even
vaguely aware that you don't have it all, you can't really know what
percentage you have collected. How will you know when there's
nothing left? When nothing else shows up as a reminder in your
mind.
This doesn't mean that your mind will be empty. If you're
conscious, your mind will always be focusing on something. But if
it's focusing on only one thing at a time, without distraction,
you'll be in your "zone."


CHAPTER 11
I THE POWER OF THE COLLECTION HABIT
I suggest that you use your mind to think 
about 
things, rather
than think 
of 
them. You want to be 
adding 
value as you think
about projects and people, not simply reminding yourself they
exist. To fully realize that more productive place, you will need to
capture it all. It takes focus and a change of habit to train yourself
to recognize and download even the smallest agreements with
yourself as they're created in your mind. Doing the collection
process as fully as you can, and then incorporating the behavior of
capturing all the new things as they emerge, will be empowering
and productive.
When Relationships and Organizations
Have the Collection Habit
What happens when everyone involved on a team—in a mar-
riage, in a department, on a staff, in a family, in a company—can
be trusted not to let anything slip through the cracks? Frankly,
once you've achieved that, you'll hardly think about whether peo-
ple are dropping the ball anymore-—there will be much bigger
things to occupy your attention.
But if communication gaps are still an issue, there's likely
some layer of frustration and a general nervousness in the culture.
Most people feel that without constant baby-sitting and hand-
holding, things could disappear in the system and then blow up at
any time. They don't realize that they're feeling this because
they've been in this situation so consistently that they relate to
it as if it were a permanent law, like gravity. It doesn't have to be
that way.
I have noticed this for years. Good people who haven't incor-
porated these behaviors come into my environment, and they
stick out like a sore thumb. I've lived with the standards of clear
psychic RAM and hard, clean edges on in-baskets for more than
two decades now. When a note sits idle in someone's in-basket
unprocessed, or when he or she nods "yes, I will" in a conversation
