Prepare to be inspired by Simon Penhaligon's one-weekend implementation of GTD. After agreeing to take on twice his usual workload, Simon knew he needed a new way of working. Over one intense weekend, he listened to the Getting Things Done audiobook, and set up his system. Since getting into the GTD groove, Simon has been able to handle the expanded workload, while driving his inbox to zero daily, and still spending evenings and weekends with his wife and daughter. He uses Microsoft Outlook for email and calendar, and Evernote for everything else.

David Allen recently spoke with Luca Gambetti, whose company E-quality Italia is the certified partner for GTD in Italy. Their discussion centered around traditional and modern approaches to project management. Before becoming a GTD Master Trainer, Luca worked extensively as a project manager. He has a background in Agile, Scrum, Lean, Kanban and others. His key piece of advice about projects? Keep track of your achievements, and take time to savor them. Luca confidently says that with GTD, it is possible to live a more relaxed, focused life.

Patrick credits GTD with enabling him to run his business and be present with family. He opened his space for makers in Portland in 2019. He soon found he needed a productivity system to manage the volume of work. That's when he found GTD, and dived into implementation. Now his makerspace Factory 3 is thriving, and he still maintains control and perspective with GTD. If the terms "maker" and "makerspace" are new to you, you're in for some fun learning. Who knows? You may find that you are a maker, and that there's a makerspace near you to support your creative endeavors.

For Episode 300 we're posting this interview in its entirety from GTD Connect. Please Enjoy!
