This week, GTD® experts share strategies on how to move beyond busywork, trust your instincts, and gain clarity on the values you hold most dear.

Building a Long-Term Practice

Most productivity programs stop at getting organized. This one goes further.

GTD Coaches Mary O’Malley and Julie Ireland introduce The GTD Focus Five Horizons Coaching Program, a two-year deep dive for people ready to connect their daily actions to long-term purpose.

Mary and Julie explain that while the Foundation and Strategy programs cover the essentials like projects, next actions, and weekly reviews, the Five Horizons program goes deeper. It explores goals, vision, purpose, and values, helping you step back, spot patterns across your life and work, and make intentional choices that align with what matters most.
