Since we started the show in January, we've had about 120,000 visitors and over 300,000 hits ... modest by David Allen numbers :), but we're excited nonetheless.

That is a tremendous result, actually.

I am trying to get an insurance agency off the ground. It has been a struggle, largely because of my own lack of coordination. I have been intrigued with David Allen's approach because I use, on and off quite a few of these ideas, but have had no concept of how to integrate them together with a coherent purpose.

I have had brief fits of this state you describe. I can't wait until I can live in it instead of just getting a glimpse from time to time.

Heh. Can't say I live there, but I do have a time share.

Also, as the project manager most knowledgeable about the software tool we use, semi-product manager and application support for the tool throughout the company. Very different kinds of roles.
 
I am a Generation Xer that never seems to settle down. I have had many careers...radio personality, computer software instructor, IT Analyst, Business Administrator, Business Owner, Marketing Director and presently I run my own website called Girls Can't WHAT? which is an inspirational site for women, where I discuss productivity, inspiration and following your dreams. The site officially launched last month and is doing phenominally well for my first crack at an internet business. I credit my GTD skills for making that happen as quickly as it did.

I also play drums in a recently formed band called "Amplified" and work in youth ministry and the music department at my church.

I have been "doing" GTD for about 7 years now and I learn new things every week. My system has morphed along with my career track. Sometimes I've needed intense structure and at other times I have had a more relaxed schedule. I have learned to go with the flow and do whatever it takes to be relaxed in what I am doing.
 
First post so I thought I'd start here.....

Just implementing GTD at my workplace.....I am the Sydney Auction Manager for Langtons Wine Auctions in Australia.

Cheers

Vaguely described, "IT Specialist".

In my case it means that to varying degrees I'm a sysadmin, database admin, backup responsible, software developer and support technician. It's a varied job obviously, but sometimes you get stretched just a little too thin.

I've been getting started on GTD for about a year, and the recent two months have been pretty good - to the level where I actually feel that I'm "doing GTD". Hopefully the higher altitudes of planning will help out with trying to focus ahead a little more on my different areas of responsibility.

HAHAHAHA!!!! IT SPECIALIST! that's my title too!
 
I am a small animal internal medicine specialist. I am just getting started with the GTD methods. I think that I have been able to twist some of the practices/recommendation to fit with a busy, highly reactive medical practice. If there are any other medical practitioners using the system I would love to hear how they use the GTD methods in their practice.
Thanks!

interuptive environment hits a nerve for everyone I think

I am an insurance agent. Working on the start up of a small agency. First time in a long time I have not had full time staff. Wish I had learned this stuff (GTD) 30 years ago.

I'm an architect in Portugal, coordinating the urban planning dept. on a firm (greetings to my colleague that posted before). It means lots of interruptions, working 9/10+ hours a day, and lots of things to follow through: technical related, costumer and financial management... I'm trying to keep up with EVERYTHING (including family - I have two small kids), but the time does not expand, so I've started the implementation of GTD in the last two months as a way of making my life easier (I'm starting to remember more things now...).
 
I'm a physician, just getting started with GTD. I'm currently in the phase "read the first third of the book GTD for the fourth time". I have signed up for a seminar next month and joined GTD Connect, so maybe I'll get something started!
