In a recent podcast episode, David Allen mentioned he's teaming up with David MR Covey to market GTD. In (my) ideal world, a future product/service will include a hybrid of 7 Habits/GTD.

Yes, it's David Covey, but not the Covey principles. It's entirely GTD.

mark1968;107057 said:TesTeq - Excellent point(s). It's too bad David didn't write a more practical follow-up re: how to DO the higher stuff. He's clearly a spiritual and connected guy. It would have been nice to have audio visualizations, meditations, etc., on the higher horizons.

mcogilvie;107059 said:I appreciate the pragmatic and tentative way that Davidco presents material on things like year-end reviews, e.g., "you might find this helpful."
mark1968;107068 said:In a recent podcast (SANG conference I believe), D. Allen summed up the whole kit and kaboodle by stating (and I'm paraphrasing): "If you get the gestalt of GTD, you can go set up your own system". Perhaps I'm wrong, but visualizations and higher thinking IS part of the GTD process.
mcogilvie;107071 said:try it and see if it works for you.
mark1968;107073 said:I did, twice. I'd prefer to avoid getting into which ideas/procedures didn't/don't work for me. Suffice it to say, after I left GTD, I spent a lot of time on Mark Forster's site. I returned to Connect for the learning and community. My system is a hybrid of GTD, GSD (for daily planning) and my own ideas.
I would have never left Covey's system/products if they didn't (consistently) drop the ball on their software (PlanPlus - which had tons of potential) & their attempt at building a community.
mcogilvie;107074 said:Forster's ideas have been interesting, but I think not everybody needs a list traversal algorithm that handles the urgent quickly
mcogilvie;107074 said:I'm also not sure which Covey you mean.
