Long time GTD blogger Derek Scruggs and Scott McDaniel are presenting a ‘core conversation’ this morning at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (sxsw) being held in Austin for the next 5 days. We’re all huddled in a ballroom and the GTD folks arrived early!
The topic is GTD for Startups. They are involved in a new company Survey Gizmo. The session is very hands on with real-time q and a.
They have found some good collaborative technical solutions. One is the use of IMAP, which allows for common synching of email from various clients. They use Zoho CRM (a poor man’s Sales Force) as their CRM, a majority of the collaborative features at a fraction of the price. They use Google Calendars for sharing of multiple calendars.
Slides from the session are available here.
I’m an analog sort of GTD guy. I work from a small 3-ring binder with home-made tabs organizing my lists and inspiration. I’ve tried a few digital organizers, my iPhone, Outlook lists, Google documents, etc. and have always come back to this handy notebook.
I recently (Gasp!) lost my notebook. Somehow it didn’t freak me out. Perhaps because I have lost it a few times in the past and have always found it an opportunity to revisit everything all over again from the ground up.
