    Well, two quickies come to mind:

    One is self-serving--I have a book called Higher Process that's about evaluatin self-help and productivity advice via paychological research. GTD is featured in...
  3. New Ready For Anything reading group for 2008

    I would like to have an online discussion group for Ready For Anything, to go through one chapter a week in the course of 2008.

    I've recently been incorporating reading a random chapter of Ready...
  4. Clarification...?

    I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, after reading a couple of the replies--is the question whether or not you're qualified to consult on GTD, or is it a question of rights and propriety (i.e., "Is...

    I've had massive problems with this, as well--I'm a former design student, and a former FranklinCovey employee, so I have the tools, know-how, and inclination to invent a virtually endless parade of...

    I think it's a great idea. I could see it being a pitfall for some (me, for instance--I think things that were "nasty" because I hadn't committed to thinking them all the way through would creep...

    He came back and wrote the fairly lengthy response to what we'd suggested that appears right above your question (and, if the timestamps are accurate, he did so about 2 days before your post).

    The possibility of spam occurred to me, but there was a lot of effort put into framing it in a cogent, topical issue and drafting readable and believable prose; also, no indication that the forum...
  11. If you want to trust your memory...

    I tend to take inputs while I'm in the car by calling my own voicemail.

    Also, in GTD Fast, David mentioned a trick he uses to avoid forgetting things when he can't write them down: He said he...

    1) Are there any planners that people recommend? I've been using Franklin Covey but don't think that it has the flexibility that I need.

    What's so special about GTDF?

    It's an 8-CD recording of David doing one of his 2-day seminars (the pre-Roadmap version of the seminar). It's a bit more in depth and a good deal more entertaining than the 3-CD GTD audiobook. It...

    One tip David did give (I believe it's in GTD Fast, but don't quote me) is to spin things off based on size. He suggested that if you have more than half a file-drawer of files on a single topic or...
