GTD is a concept I've been looking into for Months but was never really privy to such a concise and simple overview. For a person whose having trouble with where to start with the limitless tools, countless websites, and applications that use the strategy...all I really wanted was just such a cursory explanation...Thanks !

[tharrod]

This has to be the best GTD breakdown in its most simpliest form - Love it!

[micheledickey]

Why is some of the information off screen? I really would like to see what is there!!

[delwarchowdhury]

Beautifully explained with a simple flow chart! Thank you!

[frannydai]

Excellent explanation--the flowchart makes things much more clear. Thank you!

[gailea]

Thank you for this simple introduction to the general idea of GTD!

If you think this version of GTD is genius: I have been researching the GTD system after having watched this video (knew what it was, never got into due to sounding too complicated). Found the updated GTD Workflow Map (which is a complete and solid outline of the updated GTD system). It's genius times a hundred. It's a $10 PDF download. It's one of the best $10's you'll ever spend. Seriously.

It WOULD be a good video if all the important stuff for half of the video was off screen. Quite a strange thing not to notice... thanks anyway for making it though. (Also, is someone playing a tuba in the background?)

[hectorherrera]

Great explaination, thank you very much. Sounds very simple and easy to do. Will try it!

[TheTurnist]

Short and sweet, well explained.  Thanks for uploading Roel.

i decided his neighbor was practicing a part of a fugue for tuba

[junglejimboston]

Great video! Really well explained. I've just been getting back in the GTD system and like Milind, I too can benefit from watching it regularly.

Best definition of GTD . Thanks. Been trying to get a grip on it since I bought Pocket Informant.

I think my problem is I put most of my things in the incubate box, and then it get so full, I have incubate items all over my desk., pockets, phone, computer, emails, ect.

what a trooper. he recorded this audio even while they dismantled his studio with power tools. just joking, good summary.

[hpalexander]

Can you please upload a link so we can see the whole screen. I would really appreciate that. At least I can see what's your referring to.

[dfwboxingisback]

I think you do a concrete job of explaining the fundamentals of this discipline. To translate this in to technology, it's simply views.

reviewing your incubated tasks is just as important as reviewing your project list, according to gtd

[nomatesman]

BTW, what program do you use to hold these lists?
