Blasthemy! I hope the productivians don’t strike me down Here is my list of issues with GTD that I have picked out. These are a mix of my own and other’s experiences that were shared in a previous post asking the readers what they disliked. This is meant as a one-sided critique and as such is not strictly representative of my true feelings. If you disagree with any points please do share your thoughts. Also, be sure to suggest any points I may have missed.
Here is a video I just dug up showing David Allen being interviewed on Fox Business. The quality isn’t the best but it does otherwise provide a good summary of GTD. Things must be looking up when you start appearing on TV!
It’s on! A few weeks ago I asked you, my loyal readers, to share what you felt was wrong about GTD, and what you didn’t like about it. Now it’s my turn. As promised, on Monday I will publish my own thoughts. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out!
David Allen has released a new audiobook. It’s a three CD set covering the weekly review. Its length is three hours… what can he possibly say about the weekly review that could last that long? David’s site has audio previews to check out, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
In what will be a good news for all simplicity fans everywhere, USA Today has a post discussing how due to the slow economy people are increasingly cutting down on small pleasures. It’s now cooler to not spend, apparently. Agree?
Another month has gone by and it’s time to showcase some price slices of Organize IT content to dip into. As ever, if you’ve missed any of these posts please do check them out.

In my weekly recap last Friday I pointed out a Lifehack.orgarticle arguing that the current climate for hyper-productivity isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Then yesterday I came across a similar post, claiming that the pursuit of productivity has ended up out of control. It seems to me that there is now an increasing shift toward simplifying our lives. Who needs to be productive when the amount of stuff you have to deal with is cut in half?
