The Momentum Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours.

In this episode I interview David Allen, productivity guru and developer of the Getting Things Done® methodology. A brilliant system designed to free you from the “ambient angst” associated with not being sure of your tasks and the stress that something will slip through the cracks.

I first read David’s book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress Free Productivity, a number of years ago, and it really captured me! I would not have thought that a productivity book would keep me so interested on an international flight… but it did; and, it transformed how I look at organisation. I am far from perfect (I fall off the wagon, so to speak), but I know that when I implement David’s systems I feel both free and in control.

I just want to remind you that as this is the first week of the Wisdom for Wellbeing Podcast – I’m celebrating by releasing multiple episodes! So subscribe, and keep your eyes open for the next episodes.
