But I was so determined to see what this could do while I was still around, that I got creative and just took the basic principles.Once you break the basic principles down, I don't think they're specific to any area of life they can really apply in literally every situation. So, it was, I guess, a creative exercise as I was learning this that prompted it. And it has certainly borne much fruit since then.So, we haven't introduced a set of principles and practices. Talk to me about the other side of the coin, the vehicle through which all of this flows. So, one of the reasons I was so motivated to do the work that I'm doing today.What a beautiful story. And I love the inflection point of how this stuff comes at the exact perfect time for you. What's really got me curious is most people, when they read Getting Things Done or hear about that material, they come in with a very business mindset, "How can this help me be more productive and do more things faster in my work life?" And over time, they may find themselves applying it to their personal lives as well. You took the exact opposite direction, which I find really curious. What in your mindset said, "You know what? I think, even if I apply it in my personal life this is a direction that I should start from first"?So, it was really just working with what I had to work with at the time. But I still wanted to practice Getting Things Done, as written. So, I created several projects, including one to heal from cancer. And that was one that somehow objectified the healing process. I've heard David Allen talk about turning a problem into a project. And I hadn't heard of that concept before, but I just kind of naturally went that route. And reading through the book, I didn't even know if I was going to be around by the end of the year.Īnd it just felt really good to take this, definitely a very large problem in my life and put it into a project form where I could actually take action and move the needle on it, without kind of getting too caught up in the drama and going into that victim role and so forth. So, it was definitely a challenging and very insightful time in my life. What was life like prior? And what happened during the transition? And what his life looked like since?Yeah, sure.Īnd as one person put it, it was the best and worst time of my life all rolled into one.But as I was going through the book. Well, it's almost hard to imagine life before GTD. But when I discovered GTD, it wasn't like discovering it for the first time. I realized that I was actually practicing GTD in many areas of my life, but what it gave me is a framework, a way of formalizing the practice, certainly making some improvements and adjustments, but it was a very natural sort of fit.And I had a very, I think, unusual introduction to GTD.

I read the Getting Things Done book when I was literally fighting for my life. And today we are talking to founder of, Tim Stringer.
