The GTD® Virtual Study Group

GTD® is the art of stress-free productivity. And, we're finding that that couldn't be more true at this time in our world. GTD® is providing a bit of grounding in a time of major upheaval for many. We talk about that and how we're using our systems to find some normal in an abnormal time.

Sometimes it's tricky to separate our personal and professional lives in our systems. Sometimes we have to due to requirements, but if we don't then things can get a little muddled. So how do we keep our systems working for us? And then there's the struggle to get our partners/colleagues/teammates to also do GTD. We talk about all this and more in this episode of the GTDVSG!

Continuing the topic of Focusing on Goals from last episode, today we shared some more practical ideas around making those goals become projects and next actions. We talked about SMART goals, as well as, flexibility, and periodic reviews for alignment. And we looked defining those amorphous goals, you know... the ones that sound like pipe dreams. Who doesn't need a little help with that?! Enjoy! Check out the Official GTD® Virtual Study Group website for resources from the call and more: http://gtdvsg.com

The end of the year is one of the natural points for reflection, of the past, the present, and the future. End of decades have an especially weighty feel, as well!
