Hello GTD Connect members,

We've added a new transcript of David's In Conversation interview with Lawton Harper. You'll see it at that top of the list in the Transcripts section.

https://gettingthingsdone.com/connect/white-papers/#catn6

In this In Conversation, David talks with Lawton Harper, a consultant who helps businesses manage complex change and accelerate team performance. When he advises rising executives, he speaks from long personal experience improving his own GTD skills. You'll hear him describe how he went from having "no slack" to handling more than he previously thought possible. He speaks about "productivity leverage," the magnifying effect that one individual doing GTD can have on their organization and world.

And here's the link if you haven't listened to this In Conversation yet, or want to hear it again.

Dave, glad to know you find them useful.

I'm thinking you might like to read. Have you taken the Cognitive Preference Survey? It measures several preferences for taking in information -- reading, listening, observing, talking, and moving. Those are preferences, quite distinct from abilities.

I will ask Frank Sopper, the GTD fan who developed the survey, if he's got a current discount for GTD Connect members.

For me, the Cognitive Preference Survey really made a difference in productivity.

David interviewed Frank several years ago for In Conversation.

Frank Sopper has come through with a generous 70% discount off the usual price of the Cognitive Preference Survey. The standard price is $100, but with coupon codejiqx6g you can find out about your cognitive preferences for $30.

Frank's research has found that our brains like to process information sequentially or associatively. In addition, we may be more or less cognitively activated by reading, talking, listening, moving, and observing. The survey is a way of getting at what your preferences are for handling information. Note the word 'preference,' because, as Frank says, the survey "is predictive of neither intelligence nor aptitude for a certain job or role."

You can get more information about the Cognitive Preference Survey here:

I also posted this in a new thread, in case some members aren't following this thread.
