Small Things, Done Consistently, in Strategic Places

In my experience, the greatest successes don’t come from grandiose scenarios of good intentions engendered by temporarily pumped-up motivation. Rather, the most lasting and significant positive effects result from small things, done consistently, in strategic places.

Michael Dolan: The Impact of GTD on Groups

Michael Dolan has a great article at David Allen's Coach's Corner entitled, The Impact of GTD on Groups (I would strongly encourage you to add this feed to your RSS reader if you haven't already).
