The monthly theme for us at Magnet is Getting Things Done. Applying David Allen’s methodology of stress free productivity.
I tried a lot to find a simple presentation on the subject online. I wanted something I could use in a session I take. Something that will organize the key ideas, will not have the typical PowerPoint clutter and compliment the speaking. I found a few, but nothing that suited my needs.
So I made one of my own! Taking information from various sources and adding some of my own. Here’s the presentation! Feel free to comment on it. I would love it if someone can make it look more attractive (without making it complicated!). If you do, send me a note, and I will credit you!
So here’s how to get things done!

One optimization of the TRO approach: When you make decisions about things “as they show up,” also simply decide then WHEN it will show up again later. (Greatly reduces list size and autoprioritizes your tasks lists within each context.)
Best wishes to all in making the change.
This is a great presentation. It does lack vizuals though. A couple of picture wouldn’t hurt 🙂
Here’s also an ineresting guide on GTDintroduced by some project management software developers. The tool is actually very useful and saves lots of time.
