GTD is learned behavior<\/h2>\n

We are not born knowing how to deal with things that we need to think about. What we need to think about, and how we need to think about it, in the most effective way, are learned behaviors.<\/p>\n

Our brains evolved to respond, highly effectively, in the present, to a perceived\u00a0situation. There\u2019s a bear coming toward me, a thunderstorm emerging, a baby crying, and I\u2019m hungry. Your brain is still doing that for you. Actually, it can\u2019t stop. Using long-term memory and pattern recognition\u2014that\u2019s a bear, that\u2019s a thunderstorm, that\u2019s a baby crying, that feeling says I should eat\u2026etc. Computers can\u2019t even come close yet to that capability of recognition.<\/p>\n

As opposed to simply ingesting vibrations of light and sound and physical feeling, we have evolved to make meaning of those things. That kept us alive on the savannah, in the jungle, in the desert.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why GTD is needed now more than ever<\/h2>\n

But that doesn\u2019t happen now with an email. Or an innuendo from your partner about how you should be handling something important for both of you. Or what to do about your mom\u2019s birthday. Or whether you should change your diet. You actually have to rev up a cognitive muscle to make decisions about such things\u2014what you want to have true about them, and what you\u2019re going to do about them, if anything,<\/p>\n

Sensing that you still need to decide something, think about something, be reminded of something beyond the present creates \u201ccognitive dissonance\u201d that doesn\u2019t go away until you have appropriately engaged with the commitment.<\/p>\n

Lack of involving yourself appropriately with your stuff clogs up your conscious space. That is how and why GTD emerged as a necessary best-practice behavior set to free up cognitive room\u2014to be more creative, strategic, innovative, and simply more present with whatever you\u2019re doing (the core to being productive).<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

GTD Summit in Amsterdam<\/h2>\n

Now that GTD has become a global phenomenon, we\u2019ve decided it\u2019s time to bring the awareness of the methodology to a new level on the planet. Hence, we\u2019ve created the GTD Summit\u2014bringing together the key players in this game already and providing an opportunity to explore new and broader horizons in its implementation. June 20 & 21, in Amsterdam, we\u2019re thrilled to have GTD enthusiasts from all over the world show up for what will undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Check it out at www.gtdsummit.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope you can make it.<\/p>\n
