And coming up in January, GTD Connect members will have another opportunity to participate in the hugely popular 14-day GTD Challenge.  Members who did the recent 14-day GTD Challenge had this to say:

“Great webinar by Meg and Kelly as usual. I liked your advice on picking ‘Wins’ for the 14 days, instead of trying to climb the entire mountain at once.”

“Coaching from the webinar has gotten me more relaxed and re-energized about GTD.”

“The Webinar really motivated me to get back on track. Though I’ve been really busy, I’ve made time to get clear and current again.”

The free trial membership is easy to begin—just first name and email address—with no cost or commitment.

Part one will kick off with a live webinar on September 22nd, going over GTD best practices and giving you tools to design a game plan for maximizing your efficiency and GTD systems. In other words, how well can you “do” GTD? How much better could your systems be?

At the end of the 14 days, on October 6th, part two will bring participants back together on a webinar to look back on your successes, lessons learned, and tips for making positive changes stick.

Intended for those who have at least a basic understanding of GTD, as it will build on the core models for control & perspective.

You will learn:
• The power of creative brainstorming
• How to define your priorities through the Horizons of Focus® Model
• The advantages of using the Natural Planning Model®
• How to effectively develop and move your projects to the next level

This is how David Allen Company staff member Kari McGee described her experience with Managing Projects & Priorities:

Sometimes a vision seems to be all we have, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s the lesson I walked away with after attending the David Allen Managing Projects and Priorities seminar. I realized that the projects piece of GTD is where the magic really happens. To be able to work through clear purpose and not just be prepared for the latest and loudest is really where the bigger dreams start to take shape on the GTD Journey.

Like any GTD enthusiast, I thought I had the world conquered once I realized how I could manage all of my tasks through lists and contexts. The Mastering Workflow seminar cemented this learning further into place and pretty soon I was explaining this approach to relatives and friends. After a few months I was scanning my projects and actions during my Weekly Review. I started to become haunted by a small, creeping suspicion that I just couldn’t shake: my projects list looked much too small in relation to the responsibilities my life called for. I called my GTD Coach and asked her how many projects I should have on my list, and as I suspected, I needed to enter the next phase of my practice.

When I was offered an opportunity to attend the Managing Projects and Priorities seminar, it was exactly what the doctor ordered. As I spoke to other people attending, I realized that many people were having the same experience of, “I don’t quite get the project piece.” Halfway through the workshop I realized that the reason I had struggled with projects was because I had been ignoring one of the most integral pieces of project planning—the Natural Planning Model.

The Natural Planning Model connects the purpose of why we are investing in a larger goal, and the actions to reach that goal. After all, what is action without purpose? The presenter went through this model in careful stages to really explore the different steps of clarifying, brainstorming, organizing and implementing (taking action). By the end of the workshop, no project seemed too large or out of reach. In fact, I started of thinking of all the projects that were sitting on my Someday Maybe list and I couldn’t wait to get started.

The Managing Projects and Priorities seminar really aided me in rounding out my whole GTD system. The workshop offered an interactive breakdown of my Horizons of Focus. I was instructed on how to use projects as a way to achieve the goals that add purpose and value to my life. I realized that every domain of my life needed a project; my health, my work, my finances, my relationships. Having the instruction to be able to implement that kind of structure into my everyday reality has proven to be invaluable.

At the most basic level, the reason we organize is to accomplish projects, whether that be creating a new website or buying a new toilet seat. Whatever level of responsibility the project requires, we still need to be aware of the reasons driving us to create the path to achieve it. Maybe buying a new toilet seat will make your spouse happy for a week, and maybe creating a new website will help you reach an even higher vision of professional autonomy and financial success. In this seminar, the objectives of the individuals were that different, but they were all equally addressed. I know that my projects were clarified on a level that really catapulted me into a greater place of motivation. Now I fearlessly add on more every week, knowing that my intentions will quickly blossom into real results.

When: Friday, March 26th at 10am PDT/California time. Find your local time.

How: Follow @GTDSpecialEvent on Twitter or just launch this web page during the event to follow the Tweets. You’ll want to Refresh your Twitter page often to make sure you’re getting the latest Tweets.  They’ll come every few minutes.

Who: Probably good to have at some basic understanding of processing & organizing with GTD (also chapter 2 of the GTD book is great) and at least a basic structure of GTD setup for yourself already.
