How to find the GTD Coordinator®
February 8th, 2010 GTD Times Team - Staff ContributorsCategories | Gear | Getting Started | Getting Things Done | Implementation
The GTD Coordinator®–our GTD paper planner created with Mead and sold in many Staples stores–has been wildly popular. Which has been great for those who have been able to get their hands on one, and a challenge for those who are still trying to locate one. Here’s the latest:
New GTD Coordinators complete with blank forms and 2010 calendar:
Letter-size GTD Coordinators – Item#791001-05: In stock in the DavidCo store. You will also be able to find these in Staples stores in the “dated products” organizers section. Junior-size GTD Coordinators – Item#791002-05: Sold out in the DavidCo store. Sorry! However, there are over 1,500 Staples stores throughout the U.S. that stocked these. They are not available in the Staples online catalog (employees will not be able to locate this item in any catalog search.) They are only available in the stores. Specifically, they tell us they are in the “dated products aisle” organizers section –3rd shelf down from the top. If you don’t find it in your local Staples store, try another Staples nearby.
Refills for existing GTD Coordinators:
Calendar Refills: Day Runner offers the following items which will fit your Coordinator: Item #’s 061-785, 068-785, 481-185, 481-785. These items are available on www.ataglance.com as well as www.dayrunner.com websites. Mead has elected not to stock a customDavid Allen 2010 calendar refill-only product; please customize your coordinator with the 2010 calendar of your choice.
Blank Forms Refill Paper: In stock in the DavidCo store for both Junior size and Letter size. Includes blank forms for action lists and more. Staples stores also carry these as item #36367 (Junior) and #806744 (Letter).
If you have any questions, please contact our customer service team. Thanks!
Thanks to David for sharing this link on Twitter. With so many hacks for the GTD planner around, it is good to know that David Allen & Co. have produced a product to please the masses. I’m looking forward to purchasing one of these planners and writing a review in the coming months. Very reasonable pricing, as well.
The only problem is that you may have problems getting a refill for the calendar. Maybe it is just me, but it was frustrating to be pleased to find the Coordinator in my local store only to find that you would have to buy the entire Coordinator to get the calendar. I ended up just creating my own in Excel.
