Question: In your book, you talk about the 3 kinds of work:
1/ Pre-determined work
2/ Doing work as it shows up
3/ Defining your work
What percentage of a person’s time should be dedicated to defining work?
David Allen: No rules here. “Defining work” usually takes about 30 seconds per input (email, notes, paper, thoughts, etc.), which means 30 to 90 minutes a day for most professionals.
