Organize IT Recap: GTD And Your Workforce, Google Tools

July 4th 2008   Recap   3 comments

Organize IT recap for 04th July 2008.

  • There are plenty of stores written about people’s personal experiences in implementing GTD. However, what about entire business structures using the system? A guest post on GTD Times about Vakil Housing in India gives some insight into how they implemented the system across their whole company. Interestingly they have weekly GTD training sessions. Wouldn’t mind being a fly on the wall for that.
  • Some more Pareto principle loving for you. Thanks to The Four Hour Work Week I’m really focusing on the 80/20 rule a lot more and the emphasis on streamlining and simplifying will be a hot topic at Organize IT over the next several weeks (I’ve already touched on it in my previous post). Scott Young has several other ways you can apply the rule in your life, such as with food, reading material and emails.
  • Google has a lot of tools, it’s not just about their search engine. In fact there is such a large variety of features that they offer, it’s somewhat bizarre that they don’t make more of them. College@Home has a big list covering what Google has available. Did you know they have a notebook feature and a map site for public transportation?

Hi James. Great blog, love the name. Glad to hear you found value in our post on how we implemented GTD throughout our company. Hey, anytime you’re down here in India, you’re most welcome to attend our training sessions.

Thanks for the tips about Google. I’ve wondered why they don’t publicize these great tools more, a lot of them I’ve never even heard of, yet they are so powerful and useful.

Thanks for the offer Arif and Ali.

Tage, I thought the same thing. I guess most of them are for a niche audience or not fully supported. There are some neat ideas there, just not the audience to really push them.
