"Master your multitasking" feature

BNet runs a multi-article feature this week on personal productivity and ofcourse GTD. Very interesting articles and a new interview with David Allen. The main article "How to get started with GTD" is a very nice and thorough overview of the system and it gives you some tips and pitfalls on the various stages in the system. There is also an interview with The Dave where he talks about the myth of timemanagement and the first steps into GTD. Third you will find three senior managers who have integrated GTD into their professional life. The three articles are tied together by an intro into GTD and David Allen. Where I read a little piece on The Dave I read on another blog as well this week. He is also a minister in an organization called the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness. Now I don't mind someone being a minister of an organization of any kind and I don't think that GTD is some big scheme to attract followers for MSIA. But I do understand David's comment on my CNN article better where he says: "It’s been part of my vision for many years to be able to play with a global group of radical non-joiners who could find each other and “not-join” with each other to share best practices and a like direction and energy". It's funny that this little piece of information is also included in the article on BNet, since it is not of any direct relevance. All in all a very well-written feature on GTD and worth looking into! Used tags: , , , , ,
