- David Allen, author of "Getting Things Done, " one of the best-selling productivity books of all times joins Robert Scoble to talk about the future of work and how to make the most of productivity while minimizing stress. Allen also talks about his upcoming GTD Summit.
This guy (David Allen) should be required reading as a capstone class for all college students!!!! My goodness, I discovered this guy in the nick of time. Excellent work, no need to reinvent the wheel. David hits the sweet spot of life management
For someone that is innately unstructured and unorganized (meaning me) this system is steadily revolutionizing my life. The relaxation that is yielded as a direct result of these principles is priceless.
I am a single mom with 2 boys, I work full-time as a nurse and I'm also dealing with a condition of adult ADHD. This system has definitely changed my life. I love you David Allen, you truly changed my life. My knight in shining pink shirt. He also has tips on dealing with interruptions, which was a major problem for me in my personal and professional life. Magnificent, I am totally in complete control now!!
I am currently reading Getting Things Done it has given me a new focus, and provided me with the perspective of what improvements my personal system needs. I have started a in-tray and have been very productive in theses last couple of days. Everyone around me is asking me what Kool-Aid am I drinking? can't wait to share what I am learning.
I'm one of those two that has never heard of GTD. However, writing everything down is very old. I'll have to learn more to see what the difference is. My dad (81yo) had a tiny notebook that he wrote everything down, even names of new people he met. So far, it sounds like my dad had this down. I'm sure there has to be more to it.
The way David showcase his sexy capture tool in every interview and makes a point out of it always
Great interview! I'm new to GTD, so I'm soaking up everything I can find on this productivity model. Please keep up the good work and know that you are appreciated!
19:20 - Wow. The guy on the right talks about his favorite "cool" app that he actually loves sharing WHAT it can do, that fascination with tech over productivity is the problem. David then slams it and says its a cool app to collect but when do you get all that you've collected into ZERO collection. You rock David.
That's the problem with geeks-pushing this system. GTD in itself becomes a fascination rather than a tool. It becomes more about 'productivity porn' rather than task completion.
15:00 the discussion of "how do you say NO" which David basically says, you'll know when to say "no" because you're already on top of your tasks/projects and they will determine when and where you can say "no" or "yes". Nice. The answer is in the system.
This is so awesome I did this two weeks as an experiment without knowing about GTD and now I see this. I'm deffinetly gonna buy this book!
very informative. two people candidly speaking with kindness - conversational role-models, the both of you.
Peace !
I'm doing some research for a paper I'm puttting together on productivity and time-management, and this helps beyond what I could even express! Thanks Fast Company.
Particular what David shared about Control & Perspective...pure brilliance...
Peace :),

I couldn't agree more with using Lists. A great App that I recommend is Wunderlist. I'm using that to make myself much more productive.
I love wunderlist!
Is it possible to see a demo of what is being explained? I think it would be easier to show newcomers that way.
@ShushLorraine The difference is basically that when you write things down that you need to do its all on one big list. GTD has a system which is marvelous where you break down those tasks to places where you need to take care of those to-do's/tasks. That's key.
Good interview, just got the book after hearing DA with Leo Laporte on TWIT (N@N). His (David's) book for this puppy, at least is pretty life changing . Yes a bit cheesey at times, it is so simple like other great ideas.
good system for acid casualties
Watch out for the Huh-pile! (13:28)
Agreed, fully. However, that certainly does not answer my question.
now thats a job, to talk how to do things done.
basically you just talk, talk and talk even more, so that people forget phrase 'just do it' ;)
Me too
@wendileona Thank you. I'm going to have to read his book.
Because once apon a time they thought thats what made somebody smart. Their ability to retain miniscule facts..
Good lord. Stewart Smalley in the flesh.
If the brain "isnt for reminding and remembering,"
why do we take tests in school?
Was he dancing at the start of the video... anyway great vid..
commitment to what he is saying is a problem
What are you doing with your life? He's out there Getting Things Done, putting a show on the web...
Try the pomodoro technique instead, you won't go mad.
he's a robot
Does anyone else think the host is a quacky goofball?
lol I thought that was fucking hilarious
suck it. I have just known this book from today. waste of 6 years :((
GTD makes you feel like you're getting things done, but you're not. You're wasting time putting things in folders, labelling, tagging, percolating, zoning, categorising, prioritising, delegating, delaying, procrastinating. The most useful things in the world are simple to use. It's so complicated, it needs a book to explain.
Here's a system that's better than GTD, write down the 3 things you need to do, do them. I've saved you days of your life.
video takes too long to get to the meat of the subject.
Yeah, pink vest does seem to babble a bit
