Ep. 363: David Allen talks with Julie Flagg

David has a conversation with Dr. Julie Flagg, who discusses her GTD journey, including her significant decision to retire. Julie has been a GTD enthusiast since 2000, when she met David in Boston. She talks about how she has adapted her system to the change from a busy medical practice to an equally busy retirement. Julie still applies all the GTD best practices, including the two-minute rule. Introducing Julie for this interview, David mentions her presentation at the GTD Summit [https://gtdconnect.com/multimedia/video.php?titleid=1195&trackid=1844] in 2019.

Ep. 362: Let's Consider Contexts

We explore how categorizing your GTD next actions lists by context will help you accomplish more with less effort. Context is critical, because it filters what you can do before you factor in time, energy, and priority. We discuss what contexts are, how they have and haven't changed over the years, misconceptions about contexts, and examples of ways people use them in today's world.

Ep. 361: David Allen and Charles Duhigg

David has a fascinating conversation with Charles Duhigg, whose new book is Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection [https://www.charlesduhigg.com/]. Charles says, "With the right tools, we can connect with anyone."

Ep. 360: David Allen and Gina DiRoma

In this wide-ranging conversation, David and Gina DiRoma cover a variety of GTD topics. They even get around to GTD and improvisational comedy. Gina is the Corporate Events and Sales Director at SAK Comedy Lab [https://www.sakcomedylab.com/about], where the motto is "we make stuff up." That's a perfect complement to David's phrase, "Make it up, make it happen."

Ep. 359: GTD and Holocracy

When asked how a company does GTD, David Allen's answer is, "Holacracy." It's a self-organizing management framework that has GTD built in. The David Allen Company has been running on this framework since 2011. This recording on how GTD is incorporated into Holacracy's governing structure is from a presentation for the Holacracy community of practice.
