Methodology of managing life and work...

Friends, I’m a big fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology of managing life and work. I’ve bought his book, and have his CD permanently in my iPod. It takes a while to “get it,” but not long. And once you commit yourself to using this marvelous system, it’s magic. You can buy his book, or visit his web site (http://davidco.com), and gleen how his system works by poking around. But a wonderful and quick way to get the idea is to watch this YouTube video, which is newly posted. He’s a great presenter. Take a look.

Who is David Allen? David Allen is an international author, lecturer, and founder and President of the David Allen Company, a management consulting, coaching, and training company.

In the last twenty years he has developed and implemented productivity improvement programs for over a half million professionals in hundreds of organizations worldwide, including many Fortune 500 corporations and U.S. Government agencies. He delivers public and in-house seminars, executive workflow coaching, and consulting programs that address interactive and organizational productivity and alignment issues.

Having logged thousands of hours working with individual executives and senior professionals, David has developed a revolutionary, unique and highly practical system for improving personal and organizational productivity.
