What motivates David Allen?

Q: How did you get involved in GTD and workflow coaching, and what motivates you to continue?
David Allen: When I started out doing management consulting, I was interested in thinking/processing models that worked universally to provide value and improve conditions for people and organizations. That, combined with my own awareness of the strategic and psychological value of clear space had me quickly develop a way to research and apply a set of best practices that invariably worked for the executives and entrepreneurs I worked with. I’m continually motivated to keep doing this work, because it never stops being quite transformational for anyone who applies the principles, and there are few things I’ve ever come across that provide as much reward for so little risk.
David – Thank you for sharing your motivation. I can relate, and I’m sure many others can, to the satisfaction we experience when our services transform our clients’ lives. I love the GTD system & how it frees up the mind clutter & makes room for the creative strategy & planning that I love to do.
Wow that’s scary! I had this exact thought yesterday while driving home…”I wonder what keeps David going after all these years?”
And here is the answer!
Thanks for all that you do.
