GTD – Getting Things Done

  1. I bought the book – Getting Things Done by David Allen.
  2. Read the first 2 (two) chapters.
  3. My inbox gathering and emptying skills are already greatly improved, but I’m still trying to figure out what some of my other “trusted buckets” are. Like the old song said… “There’s a hole in the bucket.”
  4. Noticed that Michael Hyatt has a section of his blog Working Smart – with tips about GTD.

How to Get Things Done

I’m excited about Getting Things Done, the book by David Allen. (Amazon link.) GTD is Getting Things Done – see definition of GTD. I’m already getting more things done, because I’m more organized, and haven’t even read the book yet. I’ve read a couple reviews, outlines, and summaries of the principles and main ideas from the book. That was enough to jump start me into a new way of thinking and working. Here’s what’s happening:

  • Learned a better way to manage my inbox(es).
  • A smarter way to manage my project lists and to-do lists.
  • I am better organized and more focused on my goals.
  • That’s all for today — I have to run, and Get Things Done!

We’ll come back to this topic in a couple weeks and see what other progress I can report.
