GTD Connect

Take the 14-day GTD Challenge

Get help in your journey with GTD. Join two Senior David Allen Company Coaches for a 14-day GTD Challenge, designed to bring your productivity to a whole new level.  The Challenge will take place between September 22  and October 6 and is hosted by our online learning community, GTD Connect. Free and open to all GTD Connect members (including those on a two-week guest pass.)

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.

Have you taken the GTD-Q Assessment?

With the start of the New Year, this would be a great time to take the GTD-Q assessment. This free online assessment measures what Getting Things Done gives you: better control and greater perspective.  It’s not one of those one-time tests that will never change (which will be good news for those of you who land as a Crazy Maker!). You are encouraged to take it often to see how it changes for you as you work with your strengths and challenges.  If you want your results tracked over time, there is another version on GTD Connect.

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!
