In our most recent Office Hour, we discussed how to work with others who don't practice GTD, and how to influence them to work more productively. We also went into some detail on ways to succeed with consistent reviews of your system at various time intervals.

In this webinar recording, we explore the best use of your calendar, and how your calendar relates to the three types of work that you do. If you are new to GTD, this will help you build a solid foundation to support your practice. If you are experienced, you can update your practice if changes are indicated.

In this webinar recording, we consider each step of the GTD Weekly Review, to learn why each step is important, and how they fit together. We will also discuss ways to approach the review to make it easier for you to do it consistently.

Are you among those who have not yet made the review a habit? Experience what David Allen calls the "critical success factor" with GTD, by going through a complete GTD Weekly Review. You'll experience all 11 steps of the process, with helpful advice along the way. Please note: The silent time to work on each step is included. You will have silence for 2-10 minutes depending on which step of the review is happening. You can pause or fast-forward the recording on any step to suit your pace. For the clarifying diagram, you may find it useful to have the GTD Methodology Guides handy, from the top of the Tools and Templates section of the Document Library . If you find that your review gets bogged down with a backlog of unclarified inputs, you can handle that with help from the Dealing with Backlog recording.

We had a deep discussion about why we put things on lists, how to move projects forward, and feeling good about what we're not doing. We also dived into the differences between contexts and the other limiting criteria, such as energy, when it's time to engage with what's on our lists.

We turned David Allen's formula for organizing into a webinar, and this recording is the result. It's good for all GTD practitioners, new or experienced. As you watch and listen, you may want to have available David's table showing examples of how Meaning Translates to Organization .

In this recording we discussed places in your workflow where decision fatigue can show up, ways to reduce the impact, and ways to recover. Here are links to points mentioned in the discussion. Quick Fix for Mental Fatigue The Due Diligence of Decision-making Willpower, by Roy F. Bauermeister and John Tierney/p> The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz Do you suffer from decision fatigue? (You may need a New York Times free account or subscription to read the article.) The Long Tail , by Chris Anderson.

We explore how careful clarifying leads to better lists and easier reviews. Includes Q&A with GTD Connect members. You will find it helpful to have the Clarifying Diagram (page 8) from the GTD Methodology Guides, available in letter and A4 sizes.

This webinar recording gives you hands-on practice with David Allen's instinctual, five-stage thought process for naturally planning your projects. You'll learn by taking several projects through defining purpose and principles, envisioning the outcome, brainstorming, organizing, and identifying next actions. The silent working time for planning has been edited out, so you can simply pause and take as long as you want for each segment. For your reference, the model is detailed on pages 10-11 in the GTD Methodology Guides, available at the top of the Tools and Templates section of the GTD Connect Document Library . There were two other references that you may find useful. Early in the webinar, we talk about the first stage of the Natural Planning Model, the "why" of any project. We mentioned Simon Sinek's book, Start with WHY . Later in the webinar, we mentioned Structured Decision Making, which you can find information and books about in a web search.
