Episode 15 - An introduction to GTD (Getting Things Done)

If you only put one new tool in your box, we reckon you should make it GTD. It's not time management, or a routine - it's a way of living. Whether you like writing things on paper, using apps, or you want to develop a full blown new 'task management' system, there aren't many others which are as simple, elegant, and downright good at proper stuff. The clue is in the title - Getting Things Done. This podcast explains why WE like it, why we think YOU will like it, and where to find all the stuff.
