Enough about me.
Let’s talk about my (dis)organization.
Will a Serenade help me?




     Loose ends, disorganized tasks can cause stress.
“We need to transform all the
‘stuff’ we’re trying to organize
 into actionable stuff we need
             to do.”
“The key to managing your
 ‘Stuff’ is managing your
          actions.”
www.davidco.com
Can we apply
personal productivity +
GTD to the
computer?

To my Macintosh?

• Process
• Organize
• Review
• Act
Corral your E-mail
Inbox
1 Respond
2 Action
3 Hold
4 Waiting
5 Archive
 (subfolders)
Get your Space in Order
Filing Folders
(Physical) Inbox
Filing System (Cabinet)
Paper Clips, Stapler
Label Maker
Sharpie Pens              Someday/Maybe
Trash Can                 Reference Folders
                          Current, or Project Folders
                          Waiting-For
                          Notebook, or index cards
Action Items

• One of thein new light: establishis putting
             keys to a GTD system
  your tasks                        a list of
  action items—in concrete, discreet
  terms—that says what specifically you
  have to do, and what’s involved.
• Organizeto do them—as opposed to by
           these lists by context—where
  you have
  project
Example Actions

• @Home
  • call Time Magazine at 1-800-665-5555 to
    cancel subscription of Time by end of the
    month.
• @Desk
  • make 50 photocopies of science

Using Software for GTD
       Sidenote
      TiddlyWiki*
        Instiki*
          iCal
      Quicksilver
      Backpack*
     Omni Outliner
Using a Notebook
                               A travelling journal
                                         Moleskine
                    Index Cards, i.e., Hipster PDA



                                         Concept:
                   Don’t stress out over what you
                                cannot remember!
It takes practice...




                 www.glnd.k12.va.us/resources/gtd/
No Matter Where You are Headed...
Organize by function, not content.
GTD = Workflow
• Get everything in acan be manipulated
                       physical, or better,
  digital format that
• Organize content by its need for
  completion, or “action”
• Organize reference material by project
• Organizesteps in lists, or pass them along
             actions by “quickies,” or into
  discreet
  to others for delegation, or set-aside in a
  “someday/maybe” list
Digital Organization

• Starting a in the digital realm—it’smay
              GTD-inspired workflow
  start best                          simply
  easier to begin organization with software
  tools fit for the task...
• Use the conclusion of each week to collect
  together new ideas—open loops—and
  set actions for the week and days to come.
