***WHY I DO WHAT I DO.***

Imagine waking up every morning with enthusiasm to get started. Knowing exactly what you want to accomplish that day and why you want to accomplish it. Having no stress and knowing that whatever anyone, or anything, throws at you, you can handle it with ease. When you finish your day, you do so with the feeling you have had a productive and successful day. Everyday. 

That is what I teach and that is my purpose. To help everyone learn how to manage their life and their time so they can enjoy their lives and build a life they are truly proud of.

If that is what you want, please join me in helping others find joy and enthusiasm in what they do and to help them build a life of happiness, success and fulfilment. We can all do it. You just need to learn how to do it. 

Please share this video with as many people as you can and together let us change the lives of all those who are stressed out and unhappy with their lives.

Nice video, Carl. This concept about using contexta, not due dates, is essential for GTD.

Cool to see how your videos have improved over the last couple of years. Including your setup and taught process.

Thanks for this. I've been using GTD for 2 years now, but all on paper lists. Looking to move into the 1990s and using Todoist app, but wasn't sure how to map the process to the tool. This really helped clear it up.

Thank you for the trip to the origin of my task planning :-) It is helpful to remember it again and again.

Hi Carl, I've been watching your videos on GTD Setup in todoist for a while. I just wanted to say that they are really goot and clarify a lot! and I' saying his as a GTDer for about 10 years straight ;)

However I have one question to you on Your Setup and GTD itself. How do you cope with deadlines? We say a lot that GTD is not about dates etc. But every one of us comes to a moment when a date on a task is inevitable. For example: If I had to create a report for a meting that will take place in a month from now, the next action basically would not have any particular date, but the entire project does have a deadline. One examle is with a project for next month (and that is relatively easy, because you will have four weekly reviews before that time, so you have a lot of time to react). Another examle would be with a project that is due in let's say, 3 days from now.

If you don't put dates on tasks, how do you make sure you won't miss the deadline?

I would really apreciate your answer on that or at least a link to a video you exlpained it (I'm not sure if you ever did, but you have so many videos, I managed to watch maybe 5% so far :D) Thank you!

I've been trying to implement GTD, but I'm hopelessly confused. This just seems to me like a good way to miss a bunch of stuff. For example, if I'm at the office how do I remember to take care of tasks under labels like "Boss". It's not like Todoist opens that task when the boss walks into my office and I'm not likely to remember to link seeing the boss with searching under that label. Same goes with "Waiting_for" and "Sales_team". GTD is supposed to be good for those of us with ADHD, but, at least to me it just feels like my tasks are hidden under these labels. Out of sight, out of mind. Better to have a daily to-do list that keeps all the tasks I need in sight so I won't lose track of them.

Not using todist, but your tutorial is great and I'm using it for the app that I'm using. Thanks.

I notice an evernote logo in todoist. Is that an integration w Evernote. If so, how is it set up?

[reinhardschumacher]

On your beginning program list there is a pc on the top right, how did you make it? Thanks!

[reinhardschumacher]

As you are telling the people about the Video it is a logo on the top right of the screen. It is a c & P with a half circle around them. This logo is very small.

Around 7:50 you said "I've got nothing in my wife" and I spat coffee.
