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 recently bought some 67# card stock 8.5x11 paper for printing some pre-made 3x5 templates I found. This has worked out great. I would like to develop some other custom cards and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a 4-card-per-page template (preferrably Microsoft Word). You replicate...

I’m just getting started with GTD and have blocked out the next couple of days to get set up. I have a question about using GTD to achieve goals relating to habits. For example, I have a goal to establish a daily meditation habit. I can see that I could put a next action of “sit”, but that...
I am new to GTD and have been monitoring this forum for sometime. While I am in the technology industry and behind a computer all day long at work, at this point, I find myself more comfortable with index cards while I organize and tweak my system. If I ever get it under control and designed the...
From a more or less philosophical point of view one could argue things like breakfast, lunch, sleeping etc. should be on the hard landscape of a calendar - maybe even before anything else is written on it. How does this work out with the 'hard landscape' idea of GTD? Do you put breakfast,...
Here I am, sitting at my office, with an uncomfortable number of items in my inbox. I also have about 30 minutes to spare, so it makes sense to process these items now. (Side note: I have a blue plastic "thing" that I'm using as a portable in-box. As I leave home, I grab EVERYTHING in "In"...
I am not sure what i did, but I must have done something and need help to get back to where I was. In Outlook my inbox lost the 'received' column and I have not been able to get it back. Any ideas on how to restore it would be very welcomed. thanks
Such good advice about using GTD to MAKE good habits. Any advice about how to BREAK bad ones? I can recognize the behaviors, the people, the circumstances which are sabotaging me, but I haven't been able to translate good GTD traits into avoidance. GTD is great for procrastination, but what...
Does anyone know if there's ever going to be another class at BNU? I could use a refresher.
How do I deal with dependencies with the GTD system? For example, if I have a waiting for task and then I have a task that must follow it (but might not occur to me when the waiting for task is complete) how can I be sure to include the next action? I just finished my first read through GTD and...
I keep trying but end up going back to my old ways. Especially lately when things have been out of control at work due to deadlines. So I am trying to regroup and figure out where things are falling down. I think, at the moment, one failing is what to do with stuff that can't be done in 2 minutes....
Does anyone know where to get a Levenger (or similar) pocket briefcase for index cards in the UK ? Or a similar, nice, holder for index cards. I understand the appeal of a Hipster type PDA but I'd like something to carry them around in something rather than a bulldog clip. Regards, Edward
Jeffrey Gitomer has an interesting column this week that reminds me of some of the things that David talked about in his Leveraging Focus and Vision seminar. You can find it at: http://www.gitomer.com/index.cfm?GitAction=Column.ThisWeeksColumn It will probably only be there through next...
Well, to me this seems like a simple question, here it is. Is it stating if the task you picked up is simple (less than 2 min) then you should do it rather than putting it on the end of the NA list?
I requested notification when seminar dates were confirmed. Elizabeth emailed me the link today: http://davidco.com/public_seminars.php
Brand new... just updated minutes ago... Did you see the new video clip of David on the homepage? (www.davidco.com) Hope you enjoy. Jodi
As I was setting things up for the week I wondered what gets in the way of getting GTD 'right'. I came to the conclusion that there was very little but what did get in the way had a major impact. The main failings for me are: not writing things down - not having a single place I can feel...

I'm wondering if any teachers have used GTD methods with students--and am looking for specific "success" stories. I'm under contract for a book on student motivation, which is just telling the stories of things teachers do that really work. If you have a story to share, just email me through the...
On GTD Fast, David makes a passing reference to his daily reviews and monthly reviews. It's easy enough to guess what this might consist of, but I was wondering if he has discussed these processes in more detail in newletters or elsewhere.
