Editors Note: This work is by Sebastian Stadil. He attended Ismael Ghalimi’s “Extreme Productivity” Seminar several weeks ago and was kind enough to pen this post comparing the system that Ismael uses with the system that he has been refining for himself. I think it’s fascinating how many iterations people have developed for their personal trusted systems.

Do you have a novel “Trusted System” of your own? Care to share it with GTD’ers everywhere? Write me “editor at GTDtimes dot com” and I’ll post it for the world to see. In fact - I’ll even give a prize to the system that the DavidCo GTD Coaches think is “most creative while still being functional “ I will collect entries for 30 days from today to give folks a chance to write this up. So hurry and send your “most creative while still functional trusted system” write-up in soon.

Last Friday I attended Ismael’s Extreme Productivity Seminar.

I know Ismael somewhat, and I know he always takes the things he does to extremes. He applies David Allen’s GTD quasi religiously, and is very disciplined and organized.

Friend of David and GTD Times, Ismael Ghalimi is putting on what I’m anticipating will be a very intensive and highly educational seminar tomorrow at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto - The Extreme Productivity Seminar.  There are apparently a couple of tickets still available so if you’re in the area and would like to stretch your productivity skills a little I highly recommend you head on over to Ismael’s site and get the details and reserve yourself a seat.

Ismael also puts on the very highly regarded Office2.0 Event that generally takes place in the autumn - and, as anyone who’s been to that mutli day extravaganza can attest, Ismael puts on a conference like noone else.  If an O’Reilly conference is First Class, Ismael’s are “Sleeper” class - if you’ve ever been lucky enough to fly that way you know exactly what I mean.

I’ll be attending the event to cover it for GTD Times, so if you’re there, please introduce yourself to me - that goes double if you’re interested in contributing to GTD Times.  See you all tomorrow!
