In this segment, David Allen and his team of coaches take a closer look at:

• Getting started with GTD after you've taken a seminar or read the book?tips for getting started
• Taking the GTD-Q assessment -- how well are you doing to manage your control + perspective?
• How to learn and implement GTD in a way that works for you

David Allen, Eric Mack, and John Forrister continue their discussion about their software journey, from early years to their current use of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools. If you haven't heard the first part, you may want to watch or listen to that first, but it's not required.

In this recording, they talk about the evolution of eProductivity and how much of its functionality is available in the Microsoft tools. Beyond that, it's a wide-ranging discussion of how to think about productivity, and how getting organized is an ongoing process, not a one-time destination. And of course there are some software details, such as how David is tracking Waiting For items.

You can watch to the entire conversation from December 2021 at GTD Connect®.

This is a webinar with Suzanne Strisik, Ph.D., a psychologist and longtime GTD enthusiast. We'll be looking at dreaded next actions and how they can trigger the same anxiety as the thought of an encounter with a dangerous animal. If you've been confounded by a project or a task that lingers on one of your lists, then this webinar is for you. Suzanne will guide us in understanding the dread in the task and how it relates to something deeply meaningful to us. From there, we'll make a pathway back to the flow of our good work.

Dave Edwards had another opportunity to ask David Allen about a variety of GTD topics. They begin with the Someday/Maybe list, and how to leverage that to improve your flow of creative ideas. Dave asks about prioritizing. David says it comes down to trusting your choices, and that's only possible when you have an externalized system for tracking your commitments. David also mentions that implementing GTD requires us to train cognitive muscles in ways that we were not taught in school. After they have officially closed the interview, David shows Dave his new reMarkable paper tablet, so of course we included that as a coda.

In November 2020 we posted an interview that Dave Edwards did with David Allen. They had more to talk about, so Dave has done this follow-up interview with David. They talk about changes in the work environment in the last year, as more people are working from home. Their discussion also covers how work contexts may have changed, and ways to be productive outside the traditional boundaries of 9-5 and an office with a commute. Dave writes about productivity, leadership, and management issues at DaveEdwardsMedia.com.

David Allen has a fascinating talk with Brandon Hensinger, Founder and CEO of Avrio Genetics. Brandon has started various companies, from rock climbing to pharmaceuticals. He has a passion for taking startups or small companies and growing them fast. Along the way, GTD has been a key to managing the increasing complexity and responsibility in his life. He says most people don't have much of a system to keep themselves organized, other than their email inbox. For his new employees, he recommends that they read Getting Things Done. He also has them start with a list of projects and items they are waiting for. This allows them to have more productive meetings with colleagues, right from the start. His advice for sharing GTD with others? Don't just give advice. Show them. Give them a demonstration. You can find out much more about Brandon on his website. Also, check out Brandon interviewing David.

David describes Greg Shepard as a lifelong learner on steroids. When you hear Greg talk about all that he has done, and still plans to do, you'll understand how that description fits. He has a history of taking on a variety of big challenges, because he believes that, "The bigger the problem the better the opportunity." Other people have bought more than one copy of Getting Things Done, but you'll find that Greg had an unusual reason for doing that. One of his current interests is altruistic capitalism, the idea that businesses should have concern for doing good beyond making a profit. You'll be inspired by his dedication to making the world a better place. 

You can listen to the entire conversation from October 2020 at GTD Connect®.

Sebastian Feiler is a GTD enthusiast who is based in Germany. By profession he is a lawyer, and he thinks that lawyers in general would greatly benefit from applying the GTD methodology.

Because Sebastian finds value in sharing about GTD with the global GTD community, he is an enthusiastic participant in our forums. (You would know him there as Ger80C.) He also attended the 2019 GTD Summit, and has stayed in communication with others he met there.

You will get to hear him discuss his use of paper and digital tools, his two systems for tracking work and personal commitments, and his approach to the GTD Weekly Review.

Creator of the second-best productivity tool for GTD, Eric Mack is grounded in GTD and knowledge management. David Allen and John Forrister recently talked with Eric about his five principles of productivity software design, in the hope that it might inspire future designers to incorporate some of these principles into their applications.

Eric is also doing a survey on workstyles and key frustrations. We encourage the GTD community to take his survey. We did, and found it helpful to us in understanding how we work, what we can do to improve, and more.

Key Frustrations and Work Styles Survey

For a limited time, Eric is offering GTD Connect members a complimentary call to early survey respondents to discuss his recommendations.

David Allen has reconnected with Kevin Wilde, for a discussion about learning, leadership, and coachability. Kevin describes how he heard about GTD, and his success with making it a part of the culture at General Mills. His mission in the last few years has been to dive deeper into the science and practical application of leadership coachability. He has found that leaders who plateau below their potential have one thing in common: They stop seeking feedback so they can improve. You can find out more about Kevin's current work on on the coachability of leaders on his website, The Coachable Leader. And you can listen to David's 2007 conversation with Kevin, during his time as Chief Learning Officer for General Mills.

David Allen interviewed Daniel Levitin several years ago after the publication of The Organized Mind. In this interview, David talks with Daniel about his new book, Successful Aging: A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives. They begin by discussing the neuroscientific basis for GTD. Then Daniel explains that there are two principles from GTD that are crucial for successful aging. They are 1) externalizing your memory, and 2) living conscientiously. He says that when you become more conscientious, you are rewiring your brain in beneficial ways. They also talk about how learning new things is helpful for your brain. You can find out more about Daniel on his website. He is also on several social media channels. Instagram Twitter Facebook

We have a delightful Slice of GTD Life interview for you, with Jim Small. He's a professor of pathology at Rocky Vista University, and self-confessed "science nerd." In addition to his background in medicine, he has studied computer programming, which he credits with thinking sequentially in a way that works well with GTD. His use of list management software goes way back to Palm OS and Palm Desktop, as well as Outlook, Word, Google docs, and Evernote. He has set up list management systems from simple to complex. (Hint: He says simple is better.) He speaks of the underappreciated value of the Waiting For list, and encourages those new to GTD to acknowledge themselves. His intelligence and humor shine through all the way, especially when he describes why he calls his GTD system Tembo.

Bruce Fetzer took a productivity training with David Allen in the 1980s. Since then he has been applying what he learned. His work with the John E. Fetzer Memorial Trust has been his major focus in the last few years.

Prepare to be inspired by Simon Penhaligon's one-weekend implementation of GTD. After agreeing to take on twice his usual workload, Simon knew he needed a new way of working. Over one intense weekend, he listened to the Getting Things Done audiobook, and set up his system. Since getting into the GTD groove, Simon has been able to handle the expanded workload, while driving his inbox to zero daily, and still spending evenings and weekends with his wife and daughter. He uses Microsoft Outlook for email and calendar, and Evernote for everything else.
