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

kewms has had a significant impact on my GTD system. So when she announced yesterday that she was migrating from digital to paper, I realized that I needed to give serious consideration to her arguments. One day later, I am convinced that digital is best for me. I have chosen to start a new...
What do you do when you start to get tired about everything? Next action/project lists linger for a few days then get transferred to someday/maybe. Pretty soon purported next actions/projects are being written down directly to someday/maybe. Now, I have a long list of someday/maybe (which continues...
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to give you a heads up that the RSS feed for the Davidco Forums will now show some items marked with "Members-only" in the prefix. These are forum posts in our GTD Connect forums, so if you're not a member of Connect, please understand that this is why you can not read...
Please correct me if I'm wrong. GTD assumes that there's no line between home and work related Next Actions. That means that if you have a work-project-related Next Action that you can do @computer (i.e. put new prices into existing price list) and you find yourself with a spare minute without any...

Is anyone using Time Matters software to track tasks, etc.?
Hello folks :) , my name is Jorge Ledesma(previous username: dmd1272 in all gtd groups including yahoo, I've written several gtd setups for Shadow and Dbk5 in past) and I'm starting a Skype audio blog where we can chat Gtd topics live in realtime, the start date and time is today Friday Sept. 8 at...
Lisa, Thank you for closing the "GTD Connect is here!" thread and removing all the posts. Some posts contained criticism and reading them was making me sad (even if those posts were mine). Now without any public criticism of this $48/month service I will be happy because I will know that no user...
I would like to have control over the execution of my responsiblities, by which I mean, knowing what needs to be done and to be able to do it smoothly and without undue stress, and doing it well enough to get credit or make my own portfolio of successes. So this is why I have tried to use GTD. I...
I am pleased to announce GTD Connect , the new membership program of David Allen and Getting Things Done. In this monthly membership program, you'll receive access to an exclusive Web site filled with audio, video, and article materials created by David specifically for people who want to take...
In the last Newsletter, David Allen talks about a new service call something like GTD Connect. I see the new product page, the membership said Comming soon... Has somebody can give us a clue, I am really curious to see what it is, and David said Fall, and it is fall (yes, I am like a kid waiting...
We are discussing the same thread in the closed Connect forum but I wanted to hear any ideas of not-connected GTDers. My thread about time maps pushed me to open a new thread based on David's answer to my question. As far as I understood he suggested not to use time maps and stick to...
I can't read the damn book. There's just too much corporate speak for me to slog through. I find that as I'm reading, my mind wanders complete off-topic, and I have to go back and read a few paragraphs to a few pages at a time. This, in turn, frustrates me to no end, and then what I'm reading...
Before GTD started utilizing the PDF download feature through the shopping cart, they had the Workflow Diagram online and I was able to simply right-click and "Set As Desktop Background". This was perfect as I travel every week with my laptop. Does anyone know how I can put the PDF version as my...
I continue to investigate GTD. My last post was about time mapping of Focus Areas as I thought it was of use. I still didn't get a prompt response from DavidCo staff about how they balance (actually what methods they use) their lives. Now I'd like to find out how many of you use time maps in their...
Every "Next Action" seems to have two key labels associated with it. For example, it the "Next Action" is "Contact Travel Agent", then the labels would be: 1) Associated "Project" (Plan family vacation) 2) Assocated "Context" or "Action Category" (@Calls) In people's GTD systems, are people...
My computer has recently been ravaged by a virus and I believe my best bet is to simply format the machine and begin anew. I suspect that once I do this I will not be able to reactivate my GTD. Is this correct? If so, can someone at the David Allen Co. provide me with permission to...
Let’s say you have a project: "prepare accounts for ABC to 31 August 2006". This will generate sub-projects: e.g. “have meeting with staff in advance of assignment” which has a set of key steps associated with it : read file, prepare agenda of key issues, select staff, arrange room etc. But it...
I am a new user of GTD, and am struggling with where to list some of my projects. For example, do I put "Clean out the basement" on my Someday list? or do I put it on my At Home list, since I can only do it at home? Oh, another question: any recommendations as to where to put the physical...
Just started using GTD about a month ago. So far I am very happy with the way it's been working. Clearly though I have lots more to learn. One thing that's happened is that my NA list is getting quite long. The work list alone hovers around 70-80 items. Most are truly NAs, a few are just...
