10 Steps to Getting Things Done

Earlier this year Michael Sliwinski of Nozbe.com published a 10 step course on Getting Things Done. The course does of nice job of highlighting the best aspects of GTD. It goes into some detail on how to use Michael’s application called Nozbe, which I have never used. I’m sure it’s a fine application. In fact, if you like the article, I’d recommend giving Nozbe a try! I know I plan to take Nozbe for a test drive in the near future.

A bit about Nozbe;

Nozbe is a web-based task manager and to-do list gtd software that will help your personal productivity - project management and time tracking. Nozbe's gtd software is available in your web browser and on your mobile phone and Apple iPhone. Inspired by David Allen's best-selling book "Getting Things Done - The Art of stress-free productivity".

The 10 step articles are great. I would highly recommend giving them a read. Whether you are new to GTD or a GTD ninja looking for a refresher, I am sure you will get something from Michael’s 10 posts on Getting Things Done.

Hello,

For implementing GTD you might try out my application for time management and productivity,

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.

Hope you like it.

A friend of mine gave me a ride home recently.   We were not sure how to get from Point A to Point B so he fired up his iPhone 4S Maps App...
