Member Exclusive: To Much Collection

Hello GTDers!  David Allen and the team have created a new step-by-step guide for implementing GTD. It's chock full of helpful tips, instructions, suggested supplies, and even time estimates on how long you can expect each step to take.  It's a terrific way to coach yourself through really getting all aspects of GTD off the ground--from lists to inboxes and everything in between.

Member Exclusive: Project Or Area Of Focus?

I'm struggling with how to manage some things that are in between projects and areas of focus. The ones I'm thinking about now relate to my kids. For example, my 12 year old can periodically get anxious and overwhelmed and I'm working with him on that. But I do not have a specific next action rig...
