Many of you have been searching for the GTD Coordinator® paper planner.  Created in partnership with Mead, this paper planner is designed GTD-style.  It quickly sold out in the DavidCo store (except for blank refill packs), but you can still find the full 2010 GTD Coordinator in many Staples retail stores throughout the U.S.   Here’s specifically what to look for:

Letter-size GTD Coordinator- Item #805099 - Last we heard, there were 4,700 units available in Staples stores.

Junior-size GTD Coordinator- Item # 805102 – Last we heard, there were 900 units available in Staples stores.

So, which Staples stores have them? This is where the adventures begins…

The easiest way to locate one is to  do a live chat with Staples.com to find the location of the store closest to you with inventory.  They have access to the full inventory and will be of great assistance. Give them the item numbers above or the name “GTD Coordinator.”  Unfortunately, if you call a Staples store the staff will not be able to find one, but the live chat agents will at least save you from hunting around to all of your local Staples stores.  If you do find one, they will be in the paper planner or calendar section of the store.

We’ll post what we know about 2011 inventory as we learn more about Mead’s plans.
