Two of our Senior Coaches, Leslie Harradine and Kelly Forrister, are doing another one-hour Webinar on Digging Out From Backlog. It was such a popular Webinar the first time around (watch the archive on GTD Connect,) that it’s being offered again with more in-depth tips, tricks and strategies.  Seems like backlog is a common challenge for many GTDers (and you thought it was just you??).

When: Thursday, September 16 @ 10am Pacific Time

How to register: It’s free for all GTD Connect members. If you are a current member,register for the Webinar on the home page of GTD Connect. If you’re not a member, but would like to attend this event, [Read more →]

David Allen will be leading a “GTD Success Strategies” Webinar for our GTD Connect members next Friday, August 27th @ 10am PDT.  He’ll share the keys for what makes GTD stick, including:

• The habits and rituals to create
• What to do when you fall “off” GTD
• Creating a trusted home base for yourself
• Creating a supportive environment around you

We’re giving away 5 seats to attend this Webinar to the first 5 people who reply with a comment (directly on GTD Times–not other feed sites) letting us know one thing you’ve implemented with GTD that has worked well for you.

We are pleased to announce the release of a resource that many of you have been asking for:  a  GTD & BlackBerry Guide.  A few of us are now on BlackBerry as our portable solution and we put together a Guide on the best GTD tips, tricks, and practices for making your BlackBerry rock for GTD.

It’s chock-full of 45 pages of coaching advice on getting the most out of shortcuts, Email, Tasks, the Calendar and MemoPad using the built-in features of a BlackBerry (which means you won’t find any  requirements of any 3rd-party software to buy to apply what’s in the Guide.)

David Allen will only be doing 3 public seminars this year, so here’s your chance to learn the system with the master himself. The GTD Making It All Work course offers a higher level, more theoretical overview of the GTD concepts. It’s a fun, informative, and engaging day whether you are new to GTD or have experience with the system. You’ll get the big picture of the process, including prioritizing, applying the core GTD principles, and making change stick. Coming to San Francisco, London, and Washington, DC.  Register before July 15th with the code TIMES10 to receive 10% off any of David Allen Company public events.

No matter what level or field we find ourselves on, whether it is the corporate/professional aspect or our personal/home life, we set priorities and act on what we think is important. We could call that “simplifying” our lives. And by that we do not mean lowering our standards, but rather focusing on the ones that are most important to us.

This same world view somehow seems to be plagued with jargon about priorities: how to set them, how to classify them, and how to sort them out. It claims to give us a sense that we are somehow in control. Several of my clients are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of the stuff they have to process and even more so as their resources to make the things they need to make happen get reduced, sometimes to the point of scarcity. So their question is “how do I set my priorities in any given day, so I know I am not wasting my time? So I know I am doing the right thing?”  The underlying question may well be, “How do I know that I am in control, so that what I am doing is the most relevant; the one that adds the most value?” [Read more →]

We just finished the 3-part Road to Black Belt “boot camp” series on GTD Connect.  They have been some of our most popular and highly attended Webinars yet.  They are now available for replay on the Connect site (for free trial members too!) and through podcast (members only.)  You’ll find them all on the home page of GTDConnect.com.

The June Webinars on GTD Connect will be:

Natural Planning Model® -Thursday, June 10 @ 11am Pacific Time

Senior Coaches Wayne Pepper and Kelly Forrister will lead participants through David’s project planning model (described on p. 54 of the Getting Things Done book).  This easy to follow model helps you define your projects, from purpose to next actions.

Fundamental Processing Lab with David Allen – Wednesday, June 23 @ 11am Pacific Time

David will lead a Mind Sweep and take participant examples to walk through deciding what their “stuff” is and what they are going to do about it.

Note:  Webinars are always free for GTD Connect members and are available to free trial members who have active trials at the time of the Webinar

Hello GTDers!  David Allen and the team have created a new step-by-step guide for implementing GTD. It’s chock full of helpful tips, instructions, suggested supplies, and even time estimates on how long you can expect each step to take.  It’s a terrific way to coach yourself through really getting all aspects of GTD off the ground–from lists to inboxes and everything in between.

What people are saying on our Forums about the new Guide:

“As are all the GTD products I have purchased, the new GTD Implementation Guide is of very high quality. This guide outlines completely, yet succinctly, how you can implement and maintain the GTD process.”

“I’m no GTD rookie and STILL I bought this new product! I’m glad I did! There are things in here that will help me get closer to black belt. This would have cut 3 months off my initial implementation easily!”
