Nashville PUG Meeting - Getting Things Done

Posted By: Micheal Ashby on Friday, March 10, 2006 8:09:50 AM

The Nashville Palm Users Group is holding a meeting this Saturday, March 11th. The meeting will focus on the book Getting Things Done: The Art Of Stress Free Productivity, by David Allen. NPUG will walk you through the basic concepts behind the book, Getting Things Done and then show you how to apply those principles to your Palm OS device.

Meeting Summary
Everyone talks about how fast-paced life is today and how it seems like there’s never enough time. Ever wonder why that is? Well, the answer is simple - we’re being asked to do more than ever before. Our responsibilities today are broader and more far-reaching than ever and the result is an ever-expanding task list that is bursting at the seams. Luckily for us, there appears to be a better way!

The book “Getting Things Done: The Art Of Stress Free Productivity”, by David Allen provides a method in which you can take control of your responsibilities and reduce your stress along the way. By focusing on working on the right task at the right time, not only will you get more done in a given day, you can lead a happier and more carefree life.

This March, we’ll walk you through the basic concepts behind the book, “Getting Things Done” and then show you how to apply those principles to your Palm OS device. In most cases, all you need is the built-in software, but we’ll also take a look at some of the more popular 3rd Party applications out there and how to use them the GTD way.

More details can be found at NPUG.

I would highly recommend GTD to everyone, and if I lived in Nashville, I would definately be at this meeting. GTD has revolutionized the way I work, and David Allen, the founder of GTD, is a Palm user. In fact, I read an article once where he claimed to use a Palm with only the built in applications to make this system work.

For those who want to learn more, I recommend www.43folders.com and www.davidco.com.

One of the best things about GTD is that there is a vast online support network of others working to implement it in their own lives.

I second that.

The book 'Getting Things Done' can change your life for the better. (It's available over at ereader.com, by the way). It's probably the best thing written on time management since 'First Thing First' (also available at ereader.com).
