AI is everywhere, but the secret to staying ahead isn’t just in the tech. It’s about maintaining clarity, purpose, and knowing how to work with AI without letting it take over the creative process.
This week, David Allen and GTD® coaches explore why it’s essential to address AI and thoughtfully weigh the benefits and challenges of integrating it into your GTD practice.
Living In A World With AI
Billions of devices now use AI to answer questions, create content, and spark ideas. But when it comes to Getting Things Done®, David Allen cautions against believing that the newest, flashiest tech tools hold the key to real productivity.
In his conversation with Dave Edwards, David shares:
- How to use AI without letting it think for you
- Why the fastest way to capture an idea might still be analog
Is AI a productivity must have?
GTD coaches Todd Brown and Robert Peake explain how, just like breaking big projects into smaller next actions, the same approach applies when working with AI to get better results.
Discover why treating AI like a trusted intern can help you move past roadblocks faster, how effective AI prompting mirrors your own productivity habits, and what to watch out for when delegating tasks to machine learning.
If you’re a high-performing professional curious about integrating AI into your GTD system or wondering how well they work together, this conversation will answer many of your questions.
The Future of Productivity
What happens when AI begins creating and executing tasks on its own? David Allen shares his insights on the future of productivity, decision-making, and how leaders can stay focused amid the surge of new technology.
He explains why clear purpose and simplicity will always outweigh trying to “do more,” how to prevent burnout in a nonstop world, and why the core GTD principles remain your most dependable productivity anchor even as AI reshapes the knowledge work landscape.
