David Allen’s approach to work/life balance isn’t about creating separation between work and the rest of life. It’s about appropriate engagement, giving your full attention to whatever you’re doing—whether it’s working while at home, or enjoying friends and family without having to think about work. For this GTD implementer, appropriate engagement means having a trusted GTD system to leave work at work:
“Before GTD I took work home with me, at least mentally, at night. Now I leave it in the computer where it belongs.”
