Getting Things Done (GTD) and Stress-Free Productivity

Posted by Lee Aase @LeeAase, Jan 2, 2019

Last year I was certified through VitalSmarts as a trainer in the David Allen GTD methodology, and we had over 100 staff from Public Affairs go through this training. Has anyone here been using GTD for a while in your work? What has been your experience with it?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Just Want to Talk group.

I've been using GTD for about 12 years, but I found the course offered through VitalSmarts was really helpful in closing the gap between theory and my actual practice. Still not perfect yet, but I'm getting a lot of benefit from better implementation.

Many years ago, David Allen came to my then-employer (not Mayo) and led a session on the principles that eventually became GTD. I've been using his recommended tools and processes ever since. Would love to take the VitalSmarts course, but I work remotely, not often in Rochester - are there any online options?

I don't think we're going to be licensed to do the training online. I think VitalSmarts is experimenting with having its trainers offer the course online but for now anyway we can't.

Anyone interested in an informal after-work discussion this Wednesday, 6 Feb of GTD principles, favorite efficiency tools/tricks, strategies for overcoming barriers? I am a remote worker and don't get to Rochester very often, but eager to learn from others' experience in this area. @LeeAase @cathyfraser @transom please share with others who might be interested - thanks!

Sorry I won't be able to make it...I am flying out Wednesday evening. I will be sending a note out today or tomorrow in advance of next week's training, and could include a place/time to get together if that would help.
