Back to the heart of GTD

By Bryce A Raley

Like anyone who gets busy; I thought I could drop the systems, work even harder and still manage to be productive. Wrong!

The last few months has given me another stern lesson in productivity. I’ve called this post back to the heart of GTD. I’ve been using David Allen’s GTD system for the last few weeks again and it feels so good to be productive again.

It feels great to be moving toward those 30,000 foot goals. It feels great to check off those next actions lists. It feels great to make project lists and to add things to my someday/maybe lists. It feels great to only consider doing tasks that can be done from certain places, certain situations or with the proper tools. It feels great to think what is the next action or is this actionable. Why do we quit doing the things that work?

So back to quick daily reviews, more thorough weekly reviews and the principles of GTD. Backpack is still my tool of choice along with the amazing free apps from Google.

I’d like to brainstorm and work with the new tasks feature in Gmail to see how that can change the GTD game. Any thoughts?
