When you sit down at your computer after a morning of back-to-back meetings and you\u2019re greeted by 87 new emails, you\u2019d be forgiven for cursing technology under your breath.<\/p>\n

Today, however, is the United Nations World Communications and Information Society Awareness (UNWCISA) day. It\u2019s not a clever and catchy bit of event branding, to be sure, but it celebrates something good – the opportunities and advancements that technology has brought the world such as mobile communications, big data, e-commerce and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

So we thought we\u2019d mark the day by celebrating how technology enables us to share GTD\u00ae with the world beyond the seminar room, and we\u2019ve pulled together a selection of the GTD video and audio nuggets out there on the Interweb. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Why do GTD?<\/a> \u2013 (1 min) – a fundamental question that people ask before starting their GTD journey. It\u2019s answered here by Ed Lamont, one of the founders of Next Action Associates.<\/li>\n
  2. GTD and its impact on personal life<\/a> \u2013 (1 min) – a story from our other founder, Todd Brown, about a memorable conversation he once had with his wife.<\/li>\n
  3. Can you be both organised and creative?<\/a> – (3 mins) \u2013 Robert Peake, who\u2019s used GTD longer than all of us, explains how it enables him to fully focus on his first love, poetry, while at the same time managing to be a busy GTD coach and IT consultant.<\/li>\n
  4. Getting in control and creating space<\/a> \u2013 (18 mins) \u2013 David Allen, GTD\u2019s creator, gives a TED talk in his adopted hometown of Amsterdam in which he walks the audience through a planning framework that we teach at our Level 2 \u2018Projects & Priorities\u2019 seminar.<\/li>\n
  5. Staying on the wagon<\/a> \u2013 (2 mins) \u2013 GTD is a lifelong practice and at times, just as in life, you\u2019re bound to wobble. Ed explains why this happens and why the Weekly Review\u00ae is the key to getting things back on track.<\/li>\n
  6. Guided GTD Weekly Review<\/a> \u2013 (32 mins) \u2013 following on from the video above, here\u2019s an audio recording of a GTD coach walking you through an actual Weekly Review. Try using it for your next one if you\u2019d like some helpful company.<\/li>\n
  7. How GTD helps reduce stress<\/a> \u2013 (26 mins) \u2013 over the last year we\u2019ve started podcasting, and our most recent episode dug into something that GTD impacts in a big way \u2013 your stress levels.<\/li>\n
  8. Real life GTD<\/a> \u2013 (26 mins) \u2013 if you\u2019re getting these emails then you\u2019ll have seen our guest interviews where people talk about how they use GTD and how it\u2019s impacted their life. Recently we recorded one for the first time and shared an insightful and entertaining interview with music producer Jimbo Barry.<\/li>\n
  9. David Allen coaches a Dutch TV presenter<\/a> \u2013 (5 mins) – many of you will have come to GTD through our in-house or public seminars and implemented the methodology in a work environment. This video gives you a sense of what 1-to-1 coaching is like and how it can have an impact at home.<\/li>\n
  10. Let\u2019s finish where we started, with those 87 emails. In our final video, Robert shares some strategies for coping with inbox overload<\/a>. Pop a note in your calendar to watch this one again when you come back from your summer holidays\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now over to you\u2026<\/p>\n
