Anyone have any tips and tricks for weekly review motivation? What I mean is really really loving your weekly review? How do you love it?

OK, on my second watching of the Outlook webinar, I THINK I picked up that Kelly is out of town celebrating her birthday!

Happy birthday, Kelly!

One of the things that I've struggled with is downsizing the number in-boxes I have while increasing the amount of collecting I do. I think I finally hit the sweet spot with getting information into my GTD system for processing during my weekly review using OmniFocus. I use OmniFocus as my task/pr...

The GTD & Outlook webinar I did this afternoon is now posted in the webinars box on the home page of Connect.

Currently, due to the size (over 80mb) and format (.wmv) these are not download-able or podcasted. This one also has a ton of visuals for things I showed in Outlook, so it won't make mu...

Where do you get the most new input these days? Or, in GTD terms, what's your biggest source of collection?

A GTD'er in the U.K. wrote to David Allen recently to share his success--personally and professionally--in implementing GTD.  We thought you'd appreciate hearing what he learned in the process.

I'm contemplating using an iTouch with Toodledo as my Next Actions list manager. My phone uses Windows Mobile and it's hopeless as a list manager - I'm fed up with not being able to check my Next Actions on my mobile so I'm looking for options. An iPhone isn't an option for a number of reasons so it...

Years ago, David Allen worked with software design firm Netcentrics to create a GTD solution for Outlook users.  In fact, it's one of the few applications (Eric Mack's eProductivity product is another) that has David's fingerprints on the look, feel and functionality.  Although you can customize Outlook to be more useful via the GTD & Outlook whitepaper, the Netcentrics GTD Outlook Add-In automated many of the customizations we suggest in that paper and adds a few key things that only the Add-In

I've been doing psuedo GTD for a couple of years, but finally started what I call real GTD (e.g. doing the weekly review) after I attended a GTD seminar a little over a month ago (thanks again Danny). I first brought what I learned to my work life because that's what seemed more out of control. No...
