GTDtimes Video Sunday: Contest Number 2 Guess the Theme of These 3 Videos
June 15th, 2008Categories | Getting Things Done | Video
Well, it’s already Sunday again so here are three more videos for you to ponder. There is a common theme here but you might have to think a bit to figure it out.
For those that missed it, last weeks correct answer was “In the Zone”. There were no correct answers but everyone that guessed will be entered into the drawing I’ll have at the end of the month.
For next Sunday I’d like to try something a little different. Instead of coming up with the videos and the theme myself it would be great if a reader would provide a good theme for us to identify. To encourage folks to send in their videos in addition to the first person to correctly guess the theme each week, I’ll also send a gift to whomever sends in the videos and theme that I end up using.
These three videos are quite different from last week. I hope you enjoy them. Let the guessing begin!
Is it Higher Levels?
Review (your options, the situation, your past actions) regularly.
next actions
brainstorming?
mindmapping too! how is she going to grow wings
Gotta be planning. I think.
The Roadmap
Lines.
1. Three in a line wins the game
2. Line of reasoning
3. “As a crow flies” replies to the shortest possible path, a line.
Higher level? I think Lines is probably right…good reasoning
I think it’s all about a systematic approach. The robot uses a system to determine what the player’s move was in a game of lego tic-tac-toe. The second was a systematic logical explanation of how ID = Creationism, and the third is about keeping between the lines on the road, which is a metaphor David Allen uses in “Ready for Anything”.

I think it’s about taking the next physical action - you can’t get to where you are going all in one leap, you have to just take the next logical step that gets you closer to your outcome.
Good Guesses, everyone, but no one has gotten it right just yet.
Here’s another clue: The answer is also a quote that David likes and uses regularly.
Keep at it. I’ll keep accepting guesses until Friday. If we don’t have a correct answer by then I’ll reveal the solution and we’ll move on to the next contest.
Good Luck!

OK, I’m getting a headache. How about “your system only needs to be as complicated as it need to be and no more”
Barbara, I’m calling you the official winner. I was actually looking for: “As simple as possible and no simpler” but your guess was close enough - certainly it was on the right track and captured the theme I had in mind when selecting the videos.
Well Done!
Please email your address to editor at GTDtimes dot com and I’ll have your prize sent out to you right away.
For everyone else that took a shot at this, your names will be entered into the end of month drawing.
Don’t forget that I’ll be doing this every Sunday for the time being.
Also, if any reader sends in a theme and three videos that goes with it and I end up using that theme and those videos for one of the contests you will also win the same prize as the person that guesses the correct theme first - so send in those videos!
Thanks everyone.

Just dropping a note to say that this Video contests is a Really Fun idea. Looking forward to attempting it next Sunday
Cool! That was fun, if not a bit distracting.
