David , thanks so much for your hard work , that is to streamline and condense the most critical elements of GTD into very understandable and motivating message . Thinking is work and some times very hard without the right tools and habits . From my point of view having read most of the book and listening to many presentations , I have developed a belief and faith in its value . That is my connection when I get overwhelmed , knowing that the process is not far away and within my grasp . I am not totally integrated but accept where I am . GTD provides a widow of what is and what can be . Your skillful use of language of your experience is artful . Thanks so much ! Best Regards Cookie
Hi David, ive been trying to implement GTD for past for months and i keep getting stuck. The main question i have is: How can entrepreneurs with 2 or more businesses centralise GTD methodology in a digital system that still syncs with calendar and tasks? i use Office 365 and if i use MS Planner, i need a separate planner for each of my businesses. This is not practical or efficient. If i have 5 businesses, i would need to check 5 MS planner boards every day or week. Please help
3:50 "These are all agreements - largely unspoken, and largely unkept." That quote spoke to me. Leaving things fuzzy and unclear allows them to become greater sources of stress.
Thanks, David! This was super helpful. Actually, I need to MAKE it super helpful by reflecting on it and my list items :) I'll be revisiting this one. By the way, I like your photo of your dog behind you. The rooster bean bag on the shelf is fun, too!
Thank you David. I am working to get mind like water. I love how you circle back to core concepts and link them to our real life challenges. This really hit home with me. But I didn't quite get that last example of the woman with too much to do. Was the answer that she needs to develop a system and use GTD? I will also be listening to this one again. Thank you so much!
@@taichiwithginseng7818 One thought was that she learned "to renegotiate the agreements she has creating for herself", by saying "No". If I've been delegated x number of things from someone else, I'm always curiously surprised when I ask them to clarify which are the top three items.
Thanks, David, for broadening our perspective on a "full list" or "long list" . Yes, it is actually a precious gift to have many options, many ideas and many possibilities.
I have to disagree. If i write it down, it now exists. Now i have to track it, clarify it, organize it, take time to reflect on it. I"m sunk. I can't make it through the day. It would take me a life time to do just the first three steps of "Capture, Clarify and organize" - with only what i've come up with now to the age of 37.
best wishes thanks if i had said "NO" to the guy that told me to "Move Along" i might have married Susan i said "NO" to the doctor that wanted DNR for brother and brother is still alive in nursing home can't cope without brother
Thank you so much for this insightful video. "The way out is through." The mindset you framed here is so helpful and foundational to apply the GTD skills. Thank you!!😊
