An Invitation

[da]

This Tuesday, I"m giving a talk on Getting Things Done and the GTD software I use. The talk needs a small amount of tweaking, yet.

[And here's the finished version. Thanks for all your help, folks. It was really useful.]

If you're the kind of person who would attend a (free, 45-minute talk) on GTD...

Wanna look at my slides and notes, and make suggestions about what is unclear?
There are speaker's notes; you have to click the little head icon in the lower-right corner.

Unfortunately, it needs a google login. If you don't want to do that, I stashed a powerpoint here. You can put comments on this post.

Comments before Monday noon are appreciated; especially if you find yourself tuning out after the first few slides. That's helpful to know. :)

Thanks.

• error on slide 8 - both points say "non-actionable"
  
• slide 9 mentions projects and contexts, but up till then you have only discussed contexts - need to explain projects within the structure of GTD (even if projects are the same as general understanding of projects!)
  
• slide 10 - within the context of GTD, what is an Inbox?

Thanks for sharing this - very interesting! I can't quite work out what the difference between GTD is and what I use - a "to do" list divided into projects/contexts - so I think I might be missing something (which I mention here so you can tighten up your presentation!).

And thanks for the links - useful. I have been using Remember the Milk - similar(ish) to Tracks, I think.

And you might be interested in this post here - a discussion on to do lists etc.

Thank you very much for these comments- slides 9 and 10 are now expanded to five slides that segue into the workflow section better. And I tried to address "what's an inbox", though I fear more content will suffer from too-much-information-itis.

If you're curious, my finished slides are here: http://coder.com/daniel/watitis2008.ppt

One of the bonus slides is on other web-based GTD apps, which includes Remember the Milk- I think if I were looking again, today, I might end up with RtM; when I looked two years ago, its gmail tools bogged down my computer something awful. :)

Yes, as per the article, I've gotten a lot of milage out of scraps of paper. However, I don't trust them as much as I trust Tracks. I've laundered my lists more times than I care to think about...

Thanks again.
