Taking some time to orient our new Dolan to this world

This is one of Maxwell's first photo-shoots. Spittin' image of me isn't he!? I'll be taking off a couple of months from blogging to take care of Maxwell.

Here's a bit that I wrote in the dizziness of the early hours of my wife's labor (and forgot to publish at the time):

Talk about open loops. The past few hours, as we work through these early contractions and watch them get more regular and frequent, has been like an open loop fest. Any uncollected (and many previously unconscious) things I've had my attention on have been bubbling up like bubbles in a champaign glass. Noticing my own psyche spin with excitement and wonder and nervousness as I cycle through my own anticipation and support AnneLise through her own journey and Max's transition to this world.

Can't wait to hold him in my hands.

GTD Live! CD set announced

I don't typically use this forum for marketing messages about our products and services. But today I'm bending the rules a bit. I'm told that today is the day that we are officially releasing our new "GTD Live!" CD set. This should be pretty exciting news for anyone who always wanted to go to a David Allen seminar but hasn't gotten the chance.

It's a well-produced, full recording of David delivering an entire 2-day seminar, and it's packed with insights, tips, and practical applications on GTD in a way that only David can tell you. And an added plus from a learning point of view is that with GTD Live! you can listen to David anywhere, anytime - even if you've fallen off the wagon and you just need a little shot in the arm to get you motivated to get back on.

Here's a summary of the content of the 10-CD set:

- Mastering the Five Stages of Workflow
- The Productive Experience
- Keys to Collecting and Processing your Stuff
- Project Thinking
- Organizing Email and Filing Systems
- Dealing with Procrastination and Setting Priorities
- Planning and the Power of Focus
- Establishing Your Ideal Scene, Successful Outcomes

It also comes with a bonus of several of our favorite "In Conversation" recordings of David speaking with high-profile GTD users, as well as a set of our GTD Templates, a learning tool to help you stay on your game.

At this link you''ll find more information about the product as well as four audio preview clips of the content.
