I searched Amazon.com for the Getting Things Done Fast CD set and came up with this $30 unreleased CD set. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1596590106/qid=1099077473/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7200883-1566242?v=glance&s=books Would anyone from Davidco like to comment or inform? ...
My first post, sorry for any errors. I run a large property portfolio in the UK. I have several hundred projects, many of them delegated to other professionals. The projects often last weeks or months. I like to know where each job is, some do nothing for weeks at a time then often there is a...
Hi all, I have been lurking this forum for the past week or so in preparation of the GTD method in my office. Things are very hectic right now, so I don;t feel the time is right, but I do feel someting HAS to be done. Anyway, I've read the book twice, making lots of notes and questions. One of...
I get lots of ideas when I go to sleep, but don't don't want to start fiddling with my PDA or a note pad in the middle of the night. Do any of you find get this problem? Maybe I'm not tired enough when I go to bed? Maybe if I had a mind like water I wouldn't be thinking of things in the night? ...
I love reading ebooks because of their convenience and I'm surprised that David Allen doesn't have digital .pdf or .lit versions of his books. Anyone know if there are any plans to make his books digital?
Hi, My boss just told me that he wants me to handle email from a particular client a little bit differently while he is on a business trip next week. How do I incorporate this into GTD? I could put something on the calendar next week, but when I'm processing the email I may forget and...
Hello All: It has been a while since I studied David's book, Getting Things Done, for the first time (probably a little over 1 year ago). I was pumped and began implementing the process. Before too long, I became frustrated because I could not harmonize the process between the office and home....
The word of the month for November is going to be Integrity. Anyone have any good quotes on this topic? Here are a few I found: “Real integrity stays in place whether the test is adversity or prosperity.” “Integrity - When you do the right thing even though no one is watching.” “If you...
I recently started a new job working with Rights and Permissions for a publisher. I have thousands of reference files to manage. Many of them are signed agreements that we need to keep in hard copy. I'm torn about whether to try to keep only hard copy files or whether to try and keep up the...

I am fairly new to GTD but am finding it very effective for organising every aspect of my life. However, there is one area that I am still not happy with. I have at work a team of 6 direct reports, who I meet and agree actions with every week. I have set up GTD (using Palm Desktop) with the...
It really helps me to see related projects together, so I have my projects categorized in Palm's TO DO. But, within a category I can't seem to control where a project appears on the list relative to another one. So with thtiry projects in that one category, I spend a lot of time searching. For...
Every week since reading GTD in February I feel progress and this week I not only had more pond-like moment than any week since beginning my adoption of the GTD system, for the first time I felt like I was cranking widgets, just going down the list a knocking off actions and not thinking as much...
I am replacing my hanging folders with plain folders and stiff cardboard alpha dividers. How do I get the stuff to stand up in my file cabinet? I remember there used to be spring-loaded type things for the back of file drawers, but I douldn't find any. Staples said they didn't sell such things...
Tom Peters has been publishing a list of "Ways to Succeed". In today's post, he touches on some very GTD-like concepts, albeit as they apply to groups. He discusses the power of s/he who writes the Agenda, s/he who takes the Notes in a meeting, and the power of To-Don't lists. All delivered with...
OK, after making an earlier post, I think I've clarified my dominant question about GTD: Projects generate tasks. So do i list my NA's by project, or context, or both? I.e., do you have your list of projects, each with NA's under them, and THEN also add the NA's to whatever context list they...
Help! I found this article (I've pasted it in below) and thought it would be a good thing to implement, but the more I think about it, the more confused I get. Would it sidetrack my GTD system if I filed things in a desktop file holder rather than or in addition to listing them in a Next Action...
