Photo of your GTD office?

A photo of my office wouldn't show much in terms of GTD, as most of my GTD stuff is virtual. I use Nozbe for all of my tasks, Evernote for notes, Gmail for e-mail, Google Calendar, etc. My key is to have my full GTD system with me as much as possible.ITManager;68636 said:
That being said, attached is a photo. I use the three primary monitors for "stuff". Nozbe on the right, Mail/Cal/Evernote in the middle, and other various tasks on the left. It works quite well. The old laptop on the far right simply runs Tweetdeck so I can keep up with Twitter without having to sacrifice screen real estate or CPU horsepower to do it. It's a very productive set-up for my style of GTD.
Attached files
A while ago, I created a short video that walks through my GTD process (capture, process, etc.), so you can see my inbox and such. My system has changed since then, but it's a record of one system, at least.

Photos of my home office setup
I've attached a ZIP file that contains some photos of my home office. My Productivity Zone is situated in the corner of my office and consists of:
The SIS furniture that I purchased is professional office-grade; you'd have to order from a company that supplies furniture for corporate offices. It also costs a lot more than the office furniture you get from Office Depot or IKEA. However, it will last a lifetime and it has ergonomic features that are unbeatable. I can adjust the height of my computer desk with a press of a switch and work sitting or standing. It's pure joy to use it.
My wife did all of the painting and decorating as a birthday present; she created a space theme complete with a star field. I absolutely love the room and get a warm fuzzy everytime I use it.
The more you love the space in which you do GTD, the more likely you are to stick with it.

- a Balt printer stand with sliding drawer (it puts my multifunction printer/scanner/fax within easy reach when I'm using it)
- an SIS Basix Xtreem Sit/Stand corner table with electric motor (great for when I need to get under the desk and work with cables)
- a corner TV shelf with VCR holder (purchased from Stacks and Stacks)
- an SIS Basic side table with manual crank for raising and lowering. The stacking trays hold my in-tray, read & review, and action support material. The standing files on top hold the current files I'm using that I want on-hand and file folders for new files.
- HON steel file cabinets with metal sliders

I'm not sure if it's GTD compliant, but it's certainly GTD inspired.

Mac. We have an old Catholic school for our shelter. My office is one of the classrooms. I have a great chalk board, that I haven't figured out a good use for, but I know there's one out there.
