What is GTD?

GTD (Getting Things Done) is an almost ultra simple system for improving your productivity. It has gained huge popularity in recent years, although its basis lies back in the late 1960s early 1970s. David Allen, who structured the system into something usable as GTD has written a very useful short definition on his site, which you might find useful.

The Problem With Blackberries (And Other PDAs/Phones)

I read an excellent post written last Summer over on Cube Rules about so called productivity tools - that don't necessarily raise productivity, but just allow us to be "connected" 24/7. As you know, I'm not a great fan of Blackberries not used well and the idea of dropping everything in your hands in order to check and respond to yet another email that is neither important nor urgent.

Scot has some very good points about what the problems are and how we need to start using productive thinking, rather than just productivity tools.

Head on over to Cube Rules for the full skinny.
