A few pull quotes from “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” by David Allen.

• Time is the quality of nature that keeps events from happening all at once. Lately it doesn’t seem to be working. —Anonymous
• We can never really be prepared for that which is wholly new. We have to adjust, ourselves, and every radical adjustment is a crisis in selfesteem: we undergo a test, we have to prove ourselves. It needs subordinate self-confidence to face drastic change without inner trembling. —Eric Hoffer
• Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does.
• If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. —Sbunryu Suzuki
• Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece… — Nadia Boulanger
• There is one thing we can do, and the happiest people are those who do it to the limit of their ability. We can be completely present. We can be all here. We can give all our attention to the opportunity before us. — Mark van Doren
