For all the trendy planners, task managers, organizational systems, and apps, there isn’t a tool in the world that will make you more productive or efficient. But you have big dreams and a lot to accomplish, so you know you need something to move you forward and achieve more.

Since 2001, GTD has guided those in search of more with self-reliant methods to create focus and freedom. Not just to get more done, but to apply thoughtful attention and intentional action to what matters most. As a proven, global methodology for productivity and time management, GTD gives you everything you need to bring order to chaos and achieve more.

Freedom. Focus. GTD.

STEP 1 - CAPTURE

Collect what has your attention
Write, record, or gather anything and everything that has your attention into a trusted collection tool.

STEP 2 - CLARIFY

Process what it means
Is it actionable? If so, decide the next action and identify the project (if more than one action is required). If not, determine whether it’s trash, reference, or something to put on hold.

STEP 3 - ORGANIZE
Put it where it belongs
Place reminders of your categorized items in the appropriate locations.

STEP 4 - REFLECT

Review frequently
Regularly update and review all relevant parts of your system to regain control and maintain focus.

STEP 5 - ENGAGE
Simply do
Use your trusted system to make decisions and take action with clarity and confidence.

We will capture what has your attention—from both your environment and your mind—clarify it by deciding what actions are required (if any), and organize the results into a seamless system of projects, actions, and information that can be easily reviewed when needed.

Over the course of the program, a high volume of your real work will get done, much will likely be cleared away, and a great deal of productive communication with others will naturally take place.

Of course you can install GTD by following the Getting Things Done book. Coaching tailors the GTD system and your tools specifically to you, with a seasoned coach by your side to help you course-correct, clear roadblocks, answer questions, and get you up to speed—often more quickly and easily than going it alone.

GTD and our coaching program work for anyone with the willingness and motivation to make it work. Before we begin, we take time to understand what you’re looking for and ensure the program is a good fit for what you want to do or experience differently. We explore what you’re bumping up against so the intentions of the coaching program align with your goals. Our goal is simple: to make this successful for you.

We coach a wide range of people in the GTD process, from new hires just beginning their careers and learning foundational tools and best practices, to senior executives seeking to be more strategic, focused, and impactful in their leadership roles.

A common theme we hear from many of our clients is that they lead rich, creative, and successful lives, yet feel they aren’t working in a sustainable way to produce what they need and want, both personally and professionally. GTD coaching is often the “glue” they’ve been missing to work more efficiently, productively, and strategically.

“After twenty-plus years, I’ve been able to find only one common denominator among the people and the organizations that have most implemented our productivity methodologies: They have a consistent internal forward momentum. It’s not lip-served or a merely conceptual “desire to improve” but rather a real deep-seated pull toward some improved future state for themselves or at least for things they feel responsible for. That’s why people and organizations that look very similar have highly varying degrees of attractions to what we do.. Their drive to get somewhere easier, faster, and better can be quite different…."

— David Allen

Block out uninterrupted time so we can fully work the program. We can create “islands” of time for urgent calls or other demands and adjust start and end times to fit your schedule, but you’ll get the most value by dedicating as much focused time as possible.

Have the following low-tech organizing supplies on hand:

– Sticky notes
– Blank letter-size paper (copy paper is fine) or legal pads (letter or junior size)
– Stack tray(s), at least one to use as an “in-tray” (we recommend stackable trays that are open on the long side)
– New file folders that match your system
– Automatic labeler (optional)
– Any current tools you use for your calendar, reference, and reminders

Yes, we can coach your team, but each person will be coached individually for a personalized, 1;1 experience. The exception would be if you have an executive and assistant team who work closely together, where it would make sense to pull them together for certain parts of the coaching process to clarify specific items.

The GTD Weekly Review® is a weekly reflection process that helps you get clear and current, so you can be more creative and strategic in your life and work. It’s a cornerstone practice in the GTD system and something we emphasize in our coaching programs as a repeatable habit.

A unique feature of our GTD® Coaching is the opportunity to receive a personal evaluation based on the powerful Kairos Assessment, developed by leading-edge researchers in neurology-based learning and communication.

Clients who choose to take the assessment have found it valuable for developing personal strategies to implement GTD best practices, as well as for improving their communication skills.

This is not time away from work. This is your work. You will likely experience getting more of your real work done during this time than you would in your normal day-to-day mode.

This is not an academic, off-line program. It is conducted in the middle of the maelstrom, with the real things on your plate, on your mind, in your email, on your papers, and in your inbox. Additionally, the results of the process will likely repay these invested hours many times over.
