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

Hi you all... Will there be any GTD training dates here in Canada? Thanks
Hi I am using the WhitePaper-recommended approach to 'waiting-fors' -- create a task that includes the contact and the date, then assign it a category of @waitingFor. I can look at my @waitingFor list first thing every morning, follow up on what needs it, ignore what doesn't -- very very nice....
After a while of rejecting the idea of affirmations, I’m becoming a believer in their power. At first, it just felt so damn strange. I credit my wife in getting me to turn around my concepts of affirmations. She has a book from Louise Hay that has some good ideas. I’m wondering if anyone is willing...
I was labeled ADD about a year ago. It has never been as much of an issue as it is now, though I have discovered that I have had it all of my life. Does anyone know of a book/forum/blog, whatever for execs coping with ADD, and how they function day to day? I have read the posts here.
Hi all, Still kinda new to the GTD thing, and at this early stage I'm struggling a bit to get comfortable with these 2 areas (among others): Managing voice mails: I know that the answering machine serves as its own in-box, so the voice mails I want to keep get transferred to paper. But this...
After a few extensive net searches game up with practically nothing, I thought this was the perfect place to "delegate" my quest for finding a method (via Gmail and/or a free Mac program) to "Automatically send scheduled emails". Could you IMAGINE how insanely productive that would be!! I have,...
Hi everyone I am seriously pondering to join David's " GTD Connect " group... Any comments on this out there? Thanks.
Hi, I am new to the forum and the GTD outlook add in. I really like the add in concept. In general I think I am organized in stuffing things away. I create a inbox folder hierarchy for each project and sub projects, a matching file directory to store documents etc. does the Davis Allen...
About seven months ago I posted a message here about Wired magazine's article on David Allen. That article was written by Gary Wolf. Today I read in the current issue of Wired another article by Gary Wolf. This one's about Piotr Wozniak, the creator of an electronic flashcard program called...
I was wondering if there are any musicians in this forum and how you are applying GTD to learning and performing music. I am well beyond the "learn an instrument" phase. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and am part of a band that plays out 2-3 times a month on the weekends. We have 50...
Have you noticed that if you order anything, even a free article, from Davidco that you get three separate emails. Not one...but THREE. I just received his monthly email (I am not counting that one) and selected to download the article on how to handle email - but it takes three emails from...
I have so many projects - I get stuck often Do you have any good strategies for organising & getting projects up and running thanks
in my inbox I have a GTD mastery 100 checklist Something else im waiting to hear back from A 20% off when you order online offer A timetable for gym classes which i would like to keep at hand - anywhere where i know where it is is fine Im not sure what to do with them - even if I put them...
I will frequently have non-project notes to process. These are items such as notes from something I've read or a meeting. Where and how do you organize the physical notes? I know I have to put note processing on my NA, but where should I keep the actual paperwork (either electronic or paper) in the...
A few years ago I bought the now-out-of-print Getting Things Done Fast CD audio of a GTD seminar. It's very good. I now see that there is a GTD Live CD audio of a seminar. Could anyone tell me how these two differ? There is a significant price difference between the two. Thanks, David.
To those who have integrated DIT with GTD, i'd be interested to hear how you've done it. I've just read the book and think the idea of a closed list as outlined in DIT seems to have a number of advantages. Please share how to make the best of both worlds.
I have beautiful NA and project lists. I am good at looking at my calendar each day (good, but not perfect) and ticking off the items which are marked as critical for that day. I am bad at remembering to look at my NA list and work from it. It's been suggested to me in the past that I try to...
Hi All I was listening to one of David's podcasts the other day and he says he uses first thing in the morning to do his creative thinking, being that you're the freshest and most alert. Great idea, other than the fact I work for a large international corporate and as soon as I'm in the...
I'm a fan of GTD systems since years and I tried several, based on softwares and paper, and I know how difficult is to be constant if the system suits less than perfectly. Difficult to keep the motivation high and avoid the natural tendency to be messy if you don't see the immediate benefits. I'm...
