Is there a printable diagram of the workflow chart exactly like the one in the book. The one on DA website does not match the one in the book and I don't like the quality of photocopies.
Check this chart out...

At the risk of not answering your question regarding the original chart, this advanced chart is definitely worth checking out if you haven't see it yet.

This chart is so cool, that I printed it in high-quality colour, laminated it, and carry it as part of my mobile "current support" file!

advanced chart
in the process section it refers to '300-400 times a day'. Surely its better to process 2-3 times maximum a day

As I read it, David very clearly said that if it was for personal use and any attribution was to David Allen, there would be no problem. The problem arises when people imply that they have some affiliation with David Allen/GTD OR that they have approval of David for something they have developed, or they are using his or their own materials for personal gain, passing off their materials as GTD/DA approved.TesTeq said:
If you use these guidelines, printing and laminating the workflow chart for personal use is not a problem. I have a folder of newsletter, tips and tools, and coaching printouts for reminders when I begin to lapse and don't have time to read the book. They are motivators for me. Even though they are for personal use, I still add the David Allen copyright at the bottom. It's only fair that David gets credit should someone else ask to see my notes.

I've even heard of some people using the flow chart as their desktop background.

300-400 times a day...
I think the intent of the "300-400 times a day" reference in the advanced workflow chart is to capture and recognize the idea that, in the course of an average day, you are probably faced with several hundred individual "inputs" each of which, under the GTD methodology, require a decision (even a quick one) about next actions and desired outcomes.
Processing certain types of work - such as inboxes, emails, and voicemail messages are probably better suited to processing several times a day.
Hope this makes sense.

Anyone have a copy of it as a Jpeg? or file wallpaper would work with?Unregistered said:
The PDF file won't work.
You can PM me or email.
thanks!
Flowchart as wallpaper
Use this link: http://www.davidco.com/tips_tools/tip32.html
The format allows you to save the flowchart for use as wallpaper.

"move closer" portion of advanced flow chart?
Hi Folks,
I'm brand new to GTD (I'm starting chapter 5 tomorrow) and I had a question about the advanced GTD workflow found here:
http://www.davidco.com/pdfs/gtd_workflow_advanced.pdf
Under 'COLLECT' at the top it says 'MOVE CLOSER'. Please tell me: What does this refer to? Thanks in advance.

Ubiquitous Capture Tool... move IT closer to you
That's what is symbolized on the workflow diagram - keep your UCT (Ubiquitous capture tool) close at hand. It could be a notepad, a palmpilot, a voice recorder..... or a tatooing device, like the main charachter in the movie "momento".

I like this chart much better, as it uses a bit of negative space to remove the "cluttered" look:

Another angle on "move closer"...
Actually, I have a different angle on "Move Closer" - though Jeff's is an excellent take on the question as well.
I see it as "Moving Closer" to the critical "GTD state" where every item on your lists (including those project lists where it's critical to have a next-action defined for every project in order to move them forward) represents a true, actionable next action, not some undoable task definition, and also represents full capture of all open loops - hence Jeff's reference to the capture tool and its critical role in getting real mental mileage out of GTD.
Just another example where the methodology becomes very personal for each individual - part of the power of the GTD approach!
