Let’s say you just read David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) book (Kindle, Paperback, or Audible) and you wanted a good summary of the overall methodology.

Or maybe you read the book a while back, and you want a refresher.

Here is my #1 recommendation — listen to the following podcasts (in English) from GTD Nordic in the following order:

(1) What is GTD, and how will you benefit from it? (23m49s)

(2) Step 1 in GTD: Capture (23m00s)

(3) Step 2 in GTD: Clarify (27m43s)

(4) Step 3 in GTD: Organize (25m11s)

(5) Step 4 in GTD: Reflect (29m11s)

(6) Step 5 in GTD: Engage (24m32s)

My #2 recommendation is to consider the new workbook: “The Getting Things Done Workbook: 10 Moves to Stress-Free Productivity” (Paperback or Kindle) by David Allen & Brandon Hall. It is easy to read, has great exercises, and is well-thought-out.

You can also ping me via email if you want to discuss anything related to GTD, productivity, or related topics. Or check out all my posts tagged GTD.
