Getting started with GTD
Mark Fitch | Oct 17 2007
After listening to a few Productive Talk podcasts and starting to listen to the GTD audio book, I'm trying to get my arms around how to actually get started in the GTD practice. I work as an IT consulting co. account mgr. In office about 50% of the time, getting 40 actionable emails per day, but most are not defferable, I have to handle and do most of the tasks. Being over 50, remembering everything is not what it used to be and I am looking for a method to improve tracking of emails, phone calls, and physical documents. I've installed a demo of the Outlook Addin however I don't know enough about GTD to actually benefit from it. Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark 8 Comments

Every comment so far is right. Firewall time and set up. I just have one little bit of advice to add for you. Be patient. GTD is a process and whatever system you set up for yourself in the beginning will likely change several times before you really feel like you've got it. And then, after you've used that system for a while, you'll change it again and get even more benefit out of it. Lather, rinse and repeat for a few years. Just don't get discouraged if the heavens don't open up with a choir of angels right away. Once you do a month's worth of weekly reviews, you'll understand just how much your perspective can change, and how much more change is still in store for you. Oh, and be sure to firewall review time too. Good luck! » POSTED IN:
