The four Ds of time management are Do, Delegate, Defer and Delete—helping you prioritize tasks and focus on what matters most. David Allen, the author of Getting Things Done, is a productivity expert and is known for his “two-minute rule”. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in just 120 seconds: write an email, make a quick phone call, pull a report and so on. When it feels like life (or work) is running away from you, use the Four Ds to regain some control. Get your small needs done quickly, then delay anything that doesn’t need to be done right away, delegate tasks to others where possible and drop anything that doesn’t really need to be done at all.
