GTD and Time Blocking

Many people read Getting Things Done and still feel confused about calendars and task lists. Then they hear about time blocking, and things get even murkier. So how do you follow the GTD method and still block time to get work done? Here's my approach.

Another good video that has one GTD thinking about one's GTD system:

For whatever it might be worth in the hope of contributing to the GTD conversation


Understanding 'time blocking' in GTD terms on this end is seemingly dynamically part of GTD until the next Calendar commitment:

Perhaps the following can dynamically facilitate focus 'liveliness' into one's GTD system as well

For surprises throughout the day: 'afternoon blocking', 'end-of-day blocking', 'morning blocking', etc.

'completion blocking', 'finish blocking', 'got to get this done blocking', 'intention blocking', 'routine blocking', etc.

Thank you very much
