Episode notes

There is no time in spirit. There's no right or wrong in spirit. It kind of is what it is. I was talking to a leader recently who said that they had a conversation with the son about when things don't work out in life. You need to go to plan B, he told his son. He responded by saying you're still in plan A. And that seemed to be consistent with what you were just saying then,. That even when things surprise us, even when they're not as we expect them to be,you're saying, this is still plan A.

David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, and Greg discuss the practical ways and key specifics to immediately begin the journey of cutting out what is non-essential, both personally and professionally. They go back and forth on the deeper and visionary elements of why it’s beneficial to focus on doing what matters most.
