Yesterday I got one of the best compliments I think I have ever gotten, and from the one and only David Allen himself!
I was showing him my GTD methodology (which was strange and embarassing in itself, because what do you say when you are talking to the man who documented the method which changed your life?!) which includes my:
- Calendar - a weekly moleskin calendar book
- My GTD notebook - a modified large moleskin book
- My notes book - a composition notebook
- My 2008 Guidebook - meditations on my yearly topic (this year "the mainstream")
I also have my GTD methodology online on two sites
- My GTDed gmail (which honestly gmail sucks for GTDing, but I'm migrated there and the pain, the PAIN to switch....
- Basecamp Project list
Anyway, I was showing David Allen my GTD book and calendar and he responded with glee in his eyes "You're the biggest train wreck of left and right brains I've ever seen!" We all laughed and were having a good time.
In fact, yesterday was one awesome day. Everyone I met at DavidCo was great and I'm revitalized and ready to implement a better weekly review, Agenda and Project list. Oh, and I think I've finally seen the power of mindmaps.
I also found out that my YouTube videos on GTD had been sent to the entire company! Talk about a strange feeling of embarrassment and delight.
Thanks Dave Patrick, Rachelle and of course David Allen.
