GTD Toolbox: 100+ Resources for Getting Things Done
One of the biggest barrier to productivity in most people’s lives is their resistance to adopting a productivity system. Some read a lot of productivity books and sites like Lifehack and feel like they can take a little bit from here and a little bit from there and call it a day. Others hate the idea that someone like Stephen Covey or David Allen could know their own needs better than they do, and so reject the idea of using “someone else’s” system.

Getting Things Done: How to Achieve Stress-free Productivity (commonly abbreviated as GTD) is an action management method created by David Allen, and described in a book of the same name. Both “Getting Things Done” and “GTD” are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company. Getting Things Done rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks. The floowing list is a comprehensive overview of the tools, websites, blogs, and Software available to help you implement Getting Things Done

Frage: Wenn Sie wichtige Projekte festlegen, definieren Sie dann auch die Projektziele und Endergebnis ganz genau? Beschreiben Sie genau - entweder im Projekttitel oder in der Beschreibung - wie die Zielvorgabe oder sogar „unerwartet fantastische Erfolg“ aussehen werden?

The other day, I held a seminar for a mixed group of people. There where a few developers from a software company there, a girl from a logistics provider, an HR Manager, a bank clerc and some others.
Microsoft Exchange holds about 60% of the total Market for Email Systems, with Outlook hoding a bit more. Usually, that is reflected in the groups I get. In this group, the Lady uses only her Time-Calendar for notes, the software guys a mix of iCal and Mozilla Thunderbird running on Mac, The HR Manager and logistics provider uses Lotus Notes and the rest only Webmail.
As a trainer, I usually go through the basics of GTD first – the why we need it and how it helps – and then move on to interactive sessions working together on implementing the methodology in the software we like to use. This time that obviously was a challenge.
So instead, I went through what the basics of the methodology wants us to achieve, pointing out how that would look like if you run a paper based system. For each step, I did a demo in Outlook and Lotus Notes, asking the Apple fraction in the room to try doing the same stuff on their Macs. Everyone cought on and understood the underlying prinziples, which was a homerun for me as a trainer :-)
The Lotus users could implement what I showed immediately, albeit with some differences to how things work in Outlook, the Lady will now expand her Calender for doing categorised tasks on separate notes and the Apple fraction…well, they were happy but somewhat frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t find a way to connects incoming Emails or Notes with Categories in their app’s.
Entourage (Outlook for Mac) can do Task and assign Categories to them and I've heard of is OmniFocus. I’m looking into this myself, but if we do have some Mac Users out there, I’d be grateful for feedback on what works for you with on the Mac.
Take care, keep it up and empty your head!
Cheers
