Are Smartphones Triggering a Productivity Boom? A Q&A with David Allen

Where have smartphones made the biggest impact in ‘getting things done’?

I mean, sure, people have been able to migrate their organizational systems so that they can get email and calendar on their phones, and are able to manage communications between the lines a lot easier and faster.  That’s made a difference.  But it’s not that big of a deal.

So a lot of it kind of depends on the nature of your work.  It’s great if you have mobile tools to be able to utilize weird whims of wait time — waiting to pick up kids at school for example — and you’re sitting there on your iPad and you can do all kinds of cool stuff. It’s a cool time to be alive with all this great stuff in hand.
