I was thinking about the 2 working tools which had made their impact on my life these few days. GTD and Mindmaps. Both of which are applicable to all manners of life, whether it is personal or professional. Although I am an advocate and is totally sold on both methods, I still have plenty to learn from each and is still constantly falling off the bandwagon. The fault does not lie in the methods, it just takes a lot of effort to turn workflows into working habits. For this, I am hopeful and optimistic, that as long as I have questions for myself on these methods, I will learn and get better.
David Allen is the guru who invented the GTD philosophy and workflow, which is gaining a lot of traction in the past few years. The inaugural GTD Summit this year at San Francisco is a measure of its international following. While researching for materials on this subject, I stumbled onto a YouTube clip where David Allen himself was presenting to the folks at Google. Going through the 45 min clip served as a good refresher for those of us who had read the book. Those who are new to the methodolgy can also be quickly introduced its main ideas.
I had also included a mindmap which I made of the video while watching it.
There is a great opportunity to introduce these tools into the classrooms.
