"Your mind is for having ideas, not for holding them" excerpt from the book GETTING THINGS DONE by David Allen

The book primarily points on our day-to-day tasks. We constantly receive information and requests. And most of the time, if not all of it, demands an output of some sort. According to the book, this data is constantly compounding on our mind and as a response, our mind will give its thought of the matter and respond accordingly. But what if the response or output didn't come right away. It will remain in your thought and ponder to the deep as more information come along.

According to the author, David Allen, the natural way for us human to respond is to leave this bit of information or bookmark our thought to a tool wherein we can leave some tiny idea of the matter and move forward. We can then go back and read that information and in a while we are back to the exact thought we had when we first had it. Some people use calendars for appointments. Some use notepad or post-it for their next actions. There are other tools out there that can help us and we should never neglect those. We should embrace them and use it to the fullest. We are in a world where multi-tasking is practiced as a norm and this will always come to its limit one way or another.

Ideas should play the majority role on our minds, but should not be use to hold them. We can use whatever tools that we can to help us unburden. Healthy mind reflects to our mood and actions.In this way working can be stress-free and will surely increase productivity.
