From the Archives: Please enjoy a segment from a webinar David Allen did for our GTD Connect members. It’s a guided mind sweep. It’s a really great opportunity to experience what you’ll find at GTDconnect.com and also be able to walk yourself through this really important practice with your GTD implementation.
@00 01 simply empty short term ram
don’t want stop what T about – just want write down, not analyze, but capture what have attention on.
Whole idea – is anything on mind write it down capture it, what I am going to do is say it out loud, give triggers .
suggest keep going with own role
thats game
if haven’t started already grab all top of mind stuff , anything …
For old time GTDs this is anything on your mind, if pops in mind – when in doubt
much better to over capture. First of mind top mind -what have to do today?
@5 25 – glance back calendar an think mentally [made me think literally answer to post with person Rene replied could do less 2 mins]
Think this type season from winter – vacation planning – made myself work – ASAP short term ASAP asking about store to help could do over message less 2 mins
NRTC <2mins
@7 7mins – do a sight look around
see room is mess – with rubbish bins full
desk not organized best
makes me think post could make to GTD s user in <2mins holstically other areas room not best placed – out loud over items for sale, CLEAN UPmade myself feel as if still not maintaining desk wooden surface best possible. COMMITMENTS TRIGGERS made myself think of B and M company conversations with colleagues …
