Setting up for GTD success with Outlook

If you’re an Outlook user, have a look at these Setting Up for Success videos. They describe the best practices for using the Getting Things Done® Outlook® Add-In. Meg Edwards, the Director of Coaching Services at David Allen Company, created the videos with Dean Hering, Chief Innovator at NetCentrics, the developer of the Add-In. There are seven videos, which cover the best practices for using the Outlook Add-In with your calendar, tasks, emails, and notes. There are also detailed video tours that show how the Add-In works with different versions of Outlook.

If you’d rather use Outlook just as it is out of the box, you’ll get value from our downloadable GTD and Outlook Setup Guides, written by David Allen and the Coaches. There are guides for Outlook 2003 and 2007. A guide for Outlook 2010 is on the way this year. GTD Times readers will be among the first to know when the release date is announced.
