David Allen – the man behind the GTD brand and the book Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity – offers the GTD Mastering Workflow seminar. Here is the promise:
What You’ll Learn
- Highly effective and simple techniques for handling email, paperwork and projects.
- How to implement specific action steps to make sure that you are aware of all of your commitments (to yourself and others)
- How to capture what has your attention, and place it into a system that you can trust – day in and day out
- How to clarify and organize your work, and reduce your sense of overwhelm in the process
- How to file paperwork, reading, emails, notes, and more – so that you can find it all again where and when you need it
Whoa! That’s exactly what I need! … Or do I?
As a field consultant I have developed my personal approaches when I was working for Microsoft Consulting Services (MCS). In this post I am reflecting on my approach to the workflow and the techniques I am using.
