Can't wait to try this. First thing tomorrow.

worth the 45 minutes ... 10 sec summary = dont try to remember things, create a system instead... you're brain is not designed to remember 'task / to-do list'.

--- Thanks David Allen and Google for sharing this video :-)

I really like this methodology - it's consistent with my experiences of work - but I find the high-energy delivery a bit distracting. Still working through the book.

I going to check out his podcast. Some good ideas at "50 Tricks to Get Things Done Faster, Better, and More Easily" lifehack.org

@4bsfun Yes I agree, focusing on one thing at a time is key. There's a short Time magazine article online which explores how Suze Orman lives by that idea, for anyone interested it's called, "Staying Sharp: The Case for Doing One Thing at a Time"

@TylerMontana there is an opportunity this might happen.

@rmTubular I was just about the post the same thing at the 8:43 mark. How do you get things done when you're jabbering on and on for several minutes about nothing?

i'm 10 mins into this 45 min presentation and i haven't heard anything meaningful yet!

Ouch. Personally didnt really enjoy. He sounds like he is learned in interpersonal skills--which is fine and dandy. But he sounds like a used-car salesman at times in my personal opinion. In the Tao Te Ching they promote the action of non-action. The complete antithesis of "GTD".
