Getting things done. (and a thought – isn’t spending time talking about having to get things done a little oxymoronic – kind of like fighting for peace?)
David Allen, founder of the Getting Things Done methodology spoke and described his process for Getting Things Done. I’ve never been a huge fan of these sorts of programs – I figure you’re either a good time manager or you aren’t. Although that’s easy for me to say – I find multi tasking pretty easy (no matter what my wife says!)
Having said that the GTD methodology sounds like a useful tool for those with too much on their plates and too little time to complete everything.
He seems a bit like a snake oil salesman to me. Follow my advice – which you have to pay for – and your life will be better.
His website is full of jargon too, which I find prevents me from ‘getting things done’ as I am too busy shouting at my screen about idiotic phrases such as ‘the five phases of workflow mastery’ and ‘unique personal management systems’.
