Work is a cycle of thinking and doing. When we want to bring about something new in the world, we spend some time thinking about what needs to be done, then spend some time doing it. Some ways of thinking and doing are more efficient and less stressful than others. One way is to batch thinking tasks apart from doing tasks. The weekly review is one of the best approaches to streamlining the cycle of ...

I’ve been a GTD disciple for quite some time. One of the things that allured me to it was it’s simplicity, it’s “bottom up” approach, and the lack of what Merlin Mann calls “capital letter noun” self development talk. You know, the Stephen Covey type stuff of starting from “VALUES” with your self development. I’ve fallen off and gotten on the GTD wagon quite periodically. I got on delicious 150+ bookmarks with the self development ...

Editor’s Note: This just came in from one of our contributors, Lynn O’Connor. When she sent it to me she suggested that this may sound too “commercial” for GTD times, but I felt like it was such a nice first-person account of what she experienced attending a RoadMap Seminar taught by David himself that I thought it would be of benefit to people who were curious about the experience and what someone who is very ...

Every day it seems we spend more and more of our time in front of a computer screen. Whether it’s a monitor on a desk or a tiny hand held display on our phones, computers are such an essential part of our day to day lives that for most of us they are almost as indispensable as oxygen. Given that so much of our time is spent in front of these machines, it behooves us ...

Evernote is a new searchable, friendly, available-anywhere, online personal database — and for many health care providers, it's rapidly becoming indispensable. Part 1 provided an introduction to Evernote and described how to use it to file away journal articles. In this part, I'll discuss how health care providers can use Evernote as a hybrid electronic health record (EHR).Let me be clear: I'm not suggesting that Evernote is a substitute for any of the excellent commercial ...

The ideal for anyone interested in Getting Things Done (more on GTD, and more)– or just being productive and organized, for that matter — is to be able to quickly add things to your to-do lists without interrupting your work; to be able to see what you need to do right now, without worrying about everything else; to be able to organize stuff without too much work. And of course, GTD fans like tools that ...

На самом деле заявляемое системой GTD естественное планирование на самом дле не предполагает точных временных оценок или же строгой структуры, но как мы все знаем сроки есть сроки и окружающие от нас ожидают сделанного к определенному дню, часу, минуте. И это неудивительно. Время исполнения важно именно тогда, когда наши дела связаны с другими людьми. Потому даже при при планировании в GTD, когда все ориентировано не на сроки и время, а на собственно исполнение, неплохо бы ...

Getting Things Done (GTD), the powerful efficiency concept from David Allen, is often applied to our task list and our email inbox, but rarely to more complex processes like our sales pipeline. However, the principles are the same and the effects could be staggering. Sales is an Art, Not Really Sales as an art form is the lead myth and barrier to consistent sales performance. Sales is a process that is performed. Granted some better ...

На этапе организации, о котором я писал в предыдущей статье, можно сделать гораздо больше ошибок, чем я могу представить, но все же, самые главные свои ошибки, наверное, я совершал на этапе Анализа и планирования. Наличие большого количества рутины и естественная усталость при возрастающей в первое время следования GTD нагрузке часто не дают уделить должного времени анализу сделанного и планированию следующего дня. А как я уже писал, я считаю единственным правилом успеха, которое всегда работает: обратную ...

MyGTD radar kicks in and I start placing mental bets on whether Person X will really do what he said. Or, I wonder ...
