Due the abundance of information out there about "Getting Things Done" (GTD), David & Co. has responded with a web page that provides an official definition of this term: http://www.davidco.com/what_is_gtd.php

I use the GTD / Outlook combination on my PC and Vx. I keep my calendar (Personal), as well as a shift schedule for my employees in Outlook on the PC. Is there any way I can get them both to synch to the Palm :? :?:
I have been using the Franklin, Covey, and FranklinCovey methods for about 10 years plus. I like the simplicty of GTD and having been using the methodology for a while, but I seem to keep coming back to the same questions. I am wondering about some of the 50,000 foot level things and how others...
I have been using the program " Time & Chaos " the last 2 1/2 weeks, and I do like it. It allows me to place to do tasks under as many Groups as I wish, GTD style. I can then prioritize any tasks and I can set a set color to my priority numbers or letters if needed. So for instance all my...
I am a recently new user to the GTD concept and I am having great success with it except for one issue. One of the jobs I do is for a Union. I am dispatching freelance proffessionals to work calls on a daily basis and I dont know how to intigrate this particularily specialized job. As an example...
Hi there, I'm curious to see how others manage and sort their list with filters and tags either with Shadow Plan or Datebook 5 thanks in advance 8)
I know this doesn't necessarily fit this posting board, but it does have to do with calendars. A friend of mine just got back from spending two years in London. While there, a number of his colleagues used a calendar that was pink in color (like the FT) and a number of others used one that was...
Looking for ideas on how to implement GTD in a selling environment..ie sales cycle, customer, product, and territory management. Looking to use GTD to "keep all the balls" in the air..any ideas/thoughts
Just a quick note to let everyone know how great the Dallas GTD Seminar was the last couple of days. I've read the book twice and listen to the Audible book version pretty often but learned tons of great stuff to get my head clear and stay focused on what can be done depending on where I am, my...
I am very happy with the GTD techniques. I am wondering if anyone knows how David would suggest organizing files on the computer? Does he suggest using folders or keeping everything in one large folder? Thanks Jerry
It is apparently recommended to review past and future events in one's calendar during the weekly review to help capture action-items, project ideas, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation for how many days/weeks one should go forward and backward in reviewing one's calendar?
Hopefully, this will work for everyone. We will be making the archives available, but since we needed to start with a new database, they won't be part of this forum. Let us know your thoughts. Webmaster
I have a Palm Pilot that I rarely use. I find it more convenient to use note cards to keep track of tasks. I don't understand how anyone could find a PDA of much assistance. Maybe I'm not using mine properly. I can write faster on paper than on the PDA screen. The screen shows only a small...
Hi All, I know that this topic has been mulled over for quite some time, but a situation recently arose for me that has made finding a solution important. Basically, with GTD, my understanding is that your projects list serves as an index of all of your open projects. Each next action...

How do we access the archived posting board? Why is this board so poorly attended?
I would be interested to hear how folks link GTD with goal-setting. For example, if I set a five year goal, I would then naturally chop it down into a series of yearly goals, then chop those into quarterly, then monthly, then weekly goals. From there, I've been thinking about just allocating...
Jason Womack is running a free GTD class at Barnes & Nobel. http://educate.barnesandnobleuniversity.com/educate/bn/home/catalog/Materials.jsp?productId=6293 See you all in class! No throwing spitballs!
I know that Getting Things Done is really for people who have already made up their mind to get things done. David Allen tends to assume that people are not resisting "doing stuff" because of procrastination or laziness - his system is not really for those folks. However, I think that the major...
Does GTD address the subject of repeating tasks? How does one handle routine tasks, that repeat or recur every day or week or month? Examples are paying the bills, grocery shopping, exercising. I have read the book Getting Things Done, and have searched the index, but I cannot recall from my ...
I've read alot about learing to say "no" to commitments, but I'm trying to figure out how to put this into practice. I just can't imagine going to my boss and saying "no" when she asks me to do something. I know that she would think that I was not being a "team player", or willing to sacrifice...
