GETTING THINGS DONE: WHAT I LEARNED FROM APPLYING GTD
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes38 views
The document discusses lessons learned from applying the Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity system. It warns against making too many lists, trying to connect every action to a project, and putting projects on context lists. It also cautions spending too much time setting up apps instead of getting work done, and stresses that the motivation for using GTD is more important than the tools or system used. The key is to trust the process, avoid overcomplicating it, and stick to the system rather than getting distracted by perfecting the setup.

- 3. ● MAKING TOO MANY LISTS ● TRYING TO CONNECT EVERY ACTION TO A PROJECT ● PUTTING PROJECTS ON YOUR CONTEXTS LISTS
- 4. GTD DOES NOT MAKE OUR COMMITMENTS FOR US, WE DO THAT ON OUR OWN. INSTEAD GTD REVEALS WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED TO.
- 5. IT EITHER HAS: ● TOO MANY FEATURES ● NON-GTD WORKFLOWS OR IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR GTD BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT AUDIENCE
- 6. ● SPENDING TIME GETTING LISTS TO “LOOK RIGHT” ● WORRYING ABOUT GETTING EVERYTHING IN SYNC AND CONNECTED IT IS EASY TO SPEND MORE TIME SETTING UP THE APPS AND MAKING THEM WORK FOR YOU THAN ACTUALLY GETTING THINGS DONE.
- 7. GTD WORKS GREAT WITH BASIC PAPER. YES, JUST PAPER. MAKE SURE YOU STICK TO IT. (DON’T THROW IT AWAY ON ACCIDENT)
