Ep. 347: Career Counseling, Psychology and GTD

Office Hour GTD Discussion In support of GTD implementation and integration, we had a free-form hour (plus) of discussion. We talked about recurring projects, checklists, clarifying versus doing, verbs for projects and actions, and much more.

Put your GTD skills to the test in this new Skills Lab webinar. We focused on the basics of the Engage step, including how you spend your time and choosing what to do. Through a set of fun quizzes, practice scenarios, and lively group discussions, this was a valuable opportunity to fine-tune GTD practice.

This was the first of several planned GTD Skills Lab webinars. In this installment, we focus on the fundamentals of projects and next actions. Through a set of fun quizzes, engaging practice scenarios, and lively group discussions, this is a valuable opportunity to fine-tune your GTD practice.

In this recording, we talk about the nature of Someday/Maybe items, and how the Someday/Maybe list is closely related to the Projects list. You can listen or watch this webinar in its entirety from June 2020 at GTD Connect.

Take a deeper dive into capturing what's grabbing your attention personally and professionally. The webinar also includes time for clarifying what you've captured and organizing it into your system. This recording is from the live webinar presented May 26, 2022. During the live webinar, we had stretches of silence while capturing personal and professional items, and for the clarifying and organizing steps. For this recording, we have edited out those periods of silence. You can simply pause the recording while you do each section, then resume when you are complete with that.

In this webinar recording, we consider each step of the GTD Weekly Review, to learn why each step is important, and how they fit together. We will also discuss ways to approach the review to make it easier for you to do it consistently.

David Allen has reconnected with Kevin Wilde, for a discussion about learning, leadership, and coachability. Kevin describes how he heard about GTD, and his success with making it a part of the culture at General Mills. His mission in the last few years has been to dive deeper into the science and practical application of leadership coachability. He has found that leaders who plateau below their potential have one thing in common: They stop seeking feedback so they can improve. You can find out more about Kevin's current work on on the coachability of leaders on his website, The Coachable Leader. And you can listen to David's 2007 conversation with Kevin, during his time as Chief Learning Officer for General Mills.
