Two of our senior David Allen Company coaches will be leading a webinar on doing a year end review, next Tuesday, December 7th from 10am-11am pacific time.  Free for all GTD Connect members, including those on a guest pass.   Login to GTD Connect to register through the link on the home page.  The webinar will focus on two key areas:

  • Completing & remember 2010
  • Creating the new year

They will lead participants through a series of insightful questions that David Allen created to inspire, challenge and acknowledge.

This will be the last webinar for 2010, finishing up a banner year of webinars for our GTD Connect members.  We did over 20 webinars this year, including 6 in our “Black Belt” series for more advanced GTDers, tactical webinars on tools such as Outlook and Lotus Notes, and hands-on “labs” with David helping people through the fundamentals of making decisions on their stuff.  As a member, you can access all of these in the media library and even take them on the go to watch offline (downloads not available for guest pass members, sorry!).We have many new exciting webinars coming in 2011, including one on OmniFocus.

We wish you all the best.

What Tim gets out of GTD Connect

By now, many of you have heard of GTD Connect–our online learning center. We wanted to share a great video from one of our members about what he gets out of his Connect membership.  Here’s what Tim, a pastor, had to say:

GTD Connect is $480 a year (one year commitment) or $48 a month (cancel anytime).  We also offer a generous discount for non-profits, government/military, and education of only $360 per year for unlimited access.  Please email us at connect@davidco.com from the account that qualifies you for the discounted rate, and we’ll send you a special link to become a member.

As we start a New Year, give yourself the gift of GTD Connect.  We wish you all the best!

First customer review of the new GTD Managing Projects set

The first customer review of the new GTD Managing Projects audio set has come in and we wanted to share some highlights:

In a nutshell, I am very excited to report this audio program is EXCELLENT!

Imagine sitting in the room with David, Marian and Meg and, basically, they are discussing all of the best practices and experiences around projects, projects planning, organizing, etc. It gives you the feeling that you have 3 personal coaches for a few hours. Many examples are discussed in great detail–big projects, smaller projects–to make it easy to understand the very fine points of how “successful outcome” project planning works in real life.
