Many lawyers feel overwhelmed by never-ending to-do lists, constant context-switching, and the mental clutter of trying to keep it all straight. In this episode, Zack Glaser talks with productivity pioneer David Allen, author of Getting Things Done (GTD), about how lawyers can break free from chaos and reclaim control—both personally and as a team. David shares the five key steps of the GTD framework and explains why a “clear mind” isn't a luxury —it's a leadership necessity. You'll learn how to stop relying on your brain as a filing cabinet, how to set up simple systems that actually stick, and how to build a law firm culture where everyone knows what to do next. We also explore concepts from his new book, Team: Getting Things Done with Others, including how to reduce bottlenecks, clarify roles, and avoid burnout by working smarter not just harder. Whether you're a solo lawyer juggling everything or a leader scaling a team, this episode will help you create space to think, lead, and grow.

A "jumbo" edition of a Road Trip Dividing Line today from Albuquerque, New Mexico! We talked about John MacArthur, told a few stories, then talked about the sad, silly, inane folks trying to cash in on criticizing him. Spent a few minutes on the Alex Jurado controversy and how we can't just accept electronically produced evidence anymore, even in situations like this. Then we spent about 45 minutes responding to the guys from Trinity, including David Allen, looking at how their own language admits that our primary criticism has always been correct: they start with man, not with God. Then we looked at 1 John 5:1 and how both sides deal with it, or, in their case, don't deal with it at all.
Our discussion focused on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in your GTD practice. We talked about apps and how much intelligence they have, and how much of the thinking is still up to you. We also considered ways to give AI models more information so they can assist us better with various parts of the GTD implementation.

I have to apologize for today's program. I started the stream, everything on my end said everything was great and worked well. But, I get done, and---no stream. No broadcast. Never had that happen before, and now I will always be wondering if it is working. Anyway, the recording worked anyway, so here it is. Talked about how being Reformed is relevant to, well, everything, including the flash flood in Texas recently. Then we discussed David Allen's new book, what it says about me, and how it uses scholarly sources. Sorry it wasn't broadcast live, as I thought it was! We will try to fix things for next time!

Sunday, July 6th | David Allen"...if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." – 2 Chronicles 7:14–Podcast: https://pod.link/willowridgechurchWebsite: https://willowridgechurch.orgInstagram: https://instagram.com/willowridgechurchFacebook: https://facebook.com/willowridgechurchYouTube: https://youtube.com/@willowridgechurch
We looked in-depth today at the continuing discussion "do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?" This time we likewise looked at what modern Romanism teaches concerning salvation of those in non-Christian religions, and how all of this utterly undercuts Rome's authority claims. The last few minutes we responded to David Allen's continued refusal to defend his published works in public debate.
In the last episode in our thematics series we explore all about long/short investing, a strategy designed to take advantage of both rising and falling stocks. Dr. David Allen, Head of Long/Short Strategies and Portfolio Manager of the Plato Global Alpha Fund at Plato Investment Management, joins The Ideas Exchange to discuss what it means to take long and short positions, the role that a long/short strategy plays in an investors' portfolio, and what makes it different from other more traditional investment strategies. Tune in to hear how Plato identifies strong performers to go long on and weaker ones to short, how they manage risks and volatility to determine the net exposure for their fund as well as some successful examples that have helped the fund outperform its benchmark. https://www.asx.com.au/blog

A new MP3 sermon from Alpha and Omega Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Another David Allen Book, Converting Franco, There Is No Idolatry Subtitle: The Dividing Line 2025 Speaker: Dr. James White Broadcaster: Alpha and Omega Ministries Event: Podcast Date: 6/30/2025 Length: 62 min.
Basically three topics today, first, a few comments on the announcement just this morning that David Allen is putting out a book this Friday with the title, Liberating Romans from Reformed Captivity. Yes, that's the actual title. Then we looked at Wesley Todd thinking it would be better to have a Catholic fascist system of government because then you could convert them, which sort of means you don't know much about history. And finally we listened briefly to the logical outcome of the Orthodox "we are worshipping through the icon" argument, that being, there is no such thing as idolatry. The next program, on Thursday, should be coming from the mobile command center, though I do not actually pull out till Saturday.
En el resumen del libro "Organízate con eficacia" de David Allen se presenta un sistema de organización del trabajo diseñado para liberar la mente de tensiones, mejorar la creatividad y aumentar la eficacia en todos los aspectos de la vida. Allen enfatiza la capacidad limitada de la mente para almacenar información y propone métodos prácticos para gestionar tareas y compromisos, como la regla de los dos minutos y la revisión semanal.Habla del método GTD. El libro subraya la importancia de definir las próximas acciones físicas, organizar la información en sistemas externos fiables y clarificar los propósitos y resultados para evitar el estrés y la procrastinación. Se resalta que la productividad no se basa en nuevas habilidades, sino en la aplicación sistemática de actitudes y herramientas ya existentes, fomentando un cambio de comportamiento hacia una mayor claridad y control.

David Allen, Eric Mack, and John Forrister continue their discussion about their software journey, from early years to their current use of the Microsoft 365 suite of tools. If you haven't heard the first part, you may want to watch or listen to that first, but it's not required. In this recording, they talk about the evolution of eProductivity and how much of its functionality is available in the Microsoft tools. Beyond that, it's a wide-ranging discussion of how to think about productivity, and how getting organized is an ongoing process, not a one-time destination. And of course there are some software details, such as how David is tracking Waiting For items. You can watch to the entire conversation from December 2021 at GTD Connect®.

Happy Monday! Anna had this great idea for this summer on the podcast; the idea was to address questions from the Organize 365® community. I asked Anna if she thought we'd get any responses? We did. We got 70 questions in the first 24 hours. So, today we're getting personal answering questions about my family and how I navigate incorporating my business. Family Involvment The question was asked about what I do when my family members don't want to participate in organization. I reiterated many times in this episode that I think my view point now is because of my lived experience up to age 53, that I am now. As women, our roles change a lot depending on the phase of life our family is at. I am out of active parenting years, made it through menopause, and just feel less emotional more matter of fact. In the brain, schemas are organized patterns of knowledge, or mental frameworks, used to interpret and understand the world. It's like a repeated skill that you have mastered. So if you always make the kids lunches, organize the schedule for the family, and get the groceries, you likely have schemas for those tasks. But then you ask your husband (or kids) to step in and he doesn't do it as well as you. He doesn't have the years of schemas built up that you do. You're asking the rookie to do, without training, what the World Series player normally does. What you focus on is what grows. Focus on what your family does right. I mentioned on a side note that being an entrepreneur has afforded me luxuries that Greg doesn't have and that makes him a little jealous. You never know the root of the negativity you get from your family. But I know my boundaries and goals and what it will take to accomplish them. And stop doing so much. Allow your family to assume some tasks like those teenage kids. Let them form schemas. OR I just focus on my areas and what I can do. I have accepted that I am only in control of myself. What I contribute to my organizational success There are 4 things that I can see I incorporated into my systems. Mind you first they were just systems for myself and my clients. From the Franklin Covey Planners I gained the idea of beginning with the end in mind. I liked how the Slob Sisters, who wrote Side Tracked Home Executive, had you write everything down on note cards and then there was a rotation system to keep you on track. Fly Lady had the control journal that I loved. But at the end of the day it was too many tasks eating up my day. I then decided what was the minimum I could get away with doing each day based on what could wait. And lastly, Getting Things Done by David Allen. It was good for executives but I needed something for parenting and a household manager. And for my PhDers out there, I explained all about my organization of papers for my school work and now the dissertation. With all of the things I do, naturally someone asked about me taking down time and getting sick. I have always been a naturally energetic person. I love to be busy with my hands. Down time for me is doing a puzzle while watching tv with Greg. I can't even relax at the beach! And as far as getting sick. Most times, you won't know I‘m sick till I'm back in the saddle. I deny the possibility as long as I can. But I always have peace of mind if I do get sick because I try to be a week or two ahead, in work, to prevent the cascade of everyone else completing their work. Like I've said before “I'm where work comes from.” Always in that ready state of preparedness. And you get to choose how you respond to situations. Your attitude is a choice.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Adam Ouellette discuss:The long-term impact of unmanaged stress in the legal professionShifting from reactive to responsive behavior in work and lifeThe necessity of integrating systems, organization, and delegation in law practicesExploring effective breathing and mindfulness practices for emotional regulation Key Takeaways:Most lawyers suffer from nervous system dysregulation due to chronic stress, which leads to physical symptoms like migraines, arrhythmia, and burnout.Heart-focused breathing, specifically the “Quick Coherence” method, can physiologically shift the body from fight-or-flight into healing mode in just minutes.Using modern legal tech tools like CRMs, automation software, and client management systems can drastically reduce workload and prevent burnout, but most lawyers resist adopting them.Implementing micro-pauses every 50 minutes for breathwork and short breaks can significantly reduce mental fatigue and boost long-term performance. "It's so critical that lawyers start to quiet their mind and regulate their nervous systems, because if you don't, you're gonna hit a wall at some point in your practice, and you're not gonna like it. Most people won't change until they have to." — Adam Ouellette Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

Ever feel like you're constantly busy but not making real progress toward what matters most? That's the frustration horizon planning solves. Your time is the only truly finite resource you have, 24 hours a day that, once spent, you never get it back. While the demands and options competing for your time multiply endlessly. Without a clear framework connecting your daily actions to your life's purpose, even the most productive days can leave you feeling empty.Introducing Horizon Planning Methodology. Horizon planning creates that vital connection, working from your highest vision down to your daily calendar. Based on David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology but simplified for practical application, this system starts with your "North Star", identifying your purpose, principles, and the person you aspire to become. From there, it cascades through progressively shorter timeframes: your 3-5 year vision, 1-2 year goals, short-term projects, and finally, your daily actions. The magic happens when these levels align. Decision-making becomes faster and less stressful. Saying yes or no to opportunities feels clear rather than guilt-inducing. Most importantly, your limited time builds toward something meaningful instead of evaporating on endless urgent-but-unimportant tasks. Ready to eliminate overwhelm and create more impact with your limited time? Download our free horizon planning worksheet HERE and schedule your first planning session. Your future self, looking back on a life of purpose and meaningful achievement, will thank you.

In addition to describing her GTD journey and the tools she uses, Jung has much to share about knowledge work, and the allocation of resources--and how GTD practitioners can evolve with the times as valuable contributors. We start with the skill of knowing what to do, to the skill of organizing the data and resources. But the more seasoned we become, wisdom joins skill--in application. That is, we can allocate resources in a way that is functional and applicable. -- This audio is one of many available at GTD Connect, a learning space and community hub for all things GTD.

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Old School Productivity: Getting Things Done May 9, 2025 | Episode 5090 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Ready to escape the rabbit hole of productivity advice? In today's episode, Scott takes you back to basics with a simple yet powerful system that works. No need to Google or chat with AI about productivity - Scott breaks down an old-school approach that will transform how you get things done. Featured Story Scott shares why he avoids going down the “productivity road” in conversations: it's hard to stop once that train leaves the station! Instead, he recommends a popular system for organizations called “Getting Things Done,” which was created by David Allen in 2005. While many modern apps and systems have built upon this foundation, Scott argues they've ultimately complicated what works best in its simplest form. Key Takeaways Delete what doesn't need your attention - the first and most powerful step to productivity is deleting tasks. Someone else could handle delegating tasks that need to be done, but this eliminates another 10% of your workload. You can delay non-urgent items that you should remember later; this keeps your current focus clear while keeping good ideas. Memorable Quotes “Do not Google or Chat GPT productivity. You're just not going to get any work done at all.” “We don't need fancy. We need to get stuff done.” “You can spend your whole life gaining wisdom, which is what I think the goal of life is to become wise.” Scott's Three-Step Approach You can start with the Perfect Week Planner to block your time effectively and hold space for what matters. Apply the four-step process: Delete it, Delegate it, Delay it, Do it. For tasks you can complete in under two minutes, just do them immediately during processing.

Look for the helpers. It's a simple axiom meant to comfort small children, a reminder to find supportive adults in times of distress. But good advice doesn't stop being good just because we've aged out of the original target audience. Adults need helpers, too. David Allen is an absolute gem of a helper, an art director turned tattoo artist who works with post-mastectomy clients in Chicago. While breast cancer survivors aren't the whole of his business, David gratefully acknowledges the indelible mark that these warriors have left on his personal life and professional outlook. GUEST BIO David Allen is a Chicago-based tattoo artist known for his bespoke floral designs that transform mastectomy scars into powerful expressions of healing and renewal.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One of the things that can hold you back from creating a solid time management and productivity system is the legacy of your old habits and systems. It could be you have always done things a particular way, which may have worked well in the past, but no longer does. Yet, the hold of the familiar keeps you wedded to that old habit. Or, your company may have adopted a new system or piece of software that has a number of possibilities that you haven't explored yet. And, of course, the elephant in the room where you have so many tools it's paralysing you when it comes to deciding what to use. So, how would you go about doing an overhaul on your system so it's simple, easy and does not require a lot of maintenance to keep working? That's the topic of this week's question and so, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Lindsay. Lindsay asks, hi Carl, I recently took your new Time Sector System course and I love it. The trouble I am having is I have so much stuff all over the place, I don't know where to start to rebuild my system. Do you have any tips that may help? Hi Lindsay, thank you for your question. There's a great YouTube video, where David Allen, author of Getting Things Done spends a day with Linda Geerdink, a Dutch journalist showing her how to get her life organised. (I'll put the video in the show notes) It's quite emotional at times as Linda has never had any kind of system in the past and has lived her professional and personal life by the seat of her pants. David Allen comes across as being a little cruel at times, yet, I can understand where he is coming from. Sometimes you need to be cruel to be kind in order to help someone get to where they want to be. What fascinated me about this video is the utter chaos the start of the process of building a system can be. When you gather everything you may or may not need to do into one central place, it can seem daunting. And when that involves papers, documents and digital stuff, it can feel like you are drowning in an ocean of stuff that must be done. But, it doesn't have to be that way. So, where would I start if I was to rebuild my system? I would suggest watching that David Allen video. It starts in Dutch, but when David is introduced to the video, it continues in English. What David gets Linda to do is exactly right. Gather everything you have into a central place. Today, that's going to be largely digital stuff. If you have notes in several notes apps, pick one and go through the process of bringing everything together into one. Which notes app you choose doesn't really matter too much, although I would choose one that is simple to use. The more complex a notes app is, the more time you will need to maintain it in the future. (Which is not a very productive way to go about it) The good thing about notes is they are rarely urgent. Notes are support materials for meetings, projects and ideas. Most notes apps will allow you to get a URL link so you can link the important notes to tasks in your task manager. Now with you task manager, again, if you have a few of these laying around, again, pick one—a simple one, and move any tasks from the apps you discard into the one you've chosen's inbox. Then process your inbox. Use the three questions: What is it? What do I need to do? When will I do it? And then move the task to the appropriate folder. Now, I know all this may take a long time. Often it can take a few days. The best way to do this is to take a day or two off and dedicate those days to getting your system sorted out. It can be fun, no really, it can be. Just be careful when you do this. We can become quite nostalgic when doing this and keep stopping to read through old notes. Now's not the time to do this. If you do find yourself doing this create a folder called “nostalgia” and drop them in there. You can then go back to that folder when you're finished. One tip here is to think elimination not accumulation. In other words focus on deleting as much as you can. Notes can be archived, sometimes your old ideas can spark fresh ideas. With your task manager, though, be ruthless and delete as much as you can. Your notes can hold as much as you like. You task manager needs to be clean and tight. The less in there the more effective it will be. I've stressed the importance of keeping things simple and this is something you want to be thinking about as you process what you have in your inboxes. Complexity is the enemy of productivity. It slows you down by adding what I call an administrative cost. That's the cost in time it takes to maintain your system. This is why the Time Sector System is powerful. It narrows down you options to when you will do something. After all, it doesn't matter how much you have to do if you don't have the time to do it, does it? Moving forward, you want to be quite strict about what you schedule to do this week. It's quite easy, when planning your week, to think that's it. But it isn't. Once the week begins, new stuff will be coming in daily, and some of that will need to be done this week. You do need to keep some space—white space as I've heard it called—for these tasks and appointments. Now, what about the future? How can you prevent chaos from returning in the future and to put yourself in a position where you are in control and know what you are doing and when? First accept your human limitations. You and I have two limitations. We can only work on one thing at a time and the number of hours we have each day. These are human limitations and there nothing we can do to change them. Then there is the need to sleep—although you may be able to pull an all nighter occasionally if you must, which I hope you don't need to do, ever—and eat. Both of which take time. This means, the place to start would be your calendar. How much time do you need for your personal needs. That would be family and social time, sleep, exercise and anything else you want time for. You don't want to be worrying about work at this point. Your work has a fixed time—usually Monday to Friday, so you can deal with that later. The benefit to starting with your personal life is it will help you to establish some boundaries between your personal and professional life. Once you have your calendar of personal activities set up, and I would set these to recur in your calendar. You can always move things around when you do your weekly planning. By setting them up as recurring events, you're much more likely to stick to them. Now look at your work. First where are your fixed meetings? Get them on your calendar. After that, how much time do you need, on average, to do your core work. That's the work you're employed to do. When I was a teacher, my teaching schedule was fixed. Yet, I also needed to schedule time for class preparation and my admin duties. When I worked as a lawyer, I required more time to work on the cases, so I made sure I had five hours a day for just working on the cases—that involved preparing court documents, requesting documents from the Land Registry and responding to letters from other lawyers. That meant I had only three hours available for appointments. There was no point in me believing I could fit in five hours of meetings and spend five hours on my cases—which I genuinely needed to do in order to keep my head above water—I wasn't being paid enough to work ten hours a day and sacrifice my social life and my exercise time. Now, I did allow a little more flexibility at the end of a month, but on the whole I strictly controlled my calendar to ensure I was not trying to do the impossible. And, for those of you who believe you cannot get control of your calendar, when I worked in a law firm, I never got fired and received my annual bonus for exemplary work each year, and I was the most junior or juniors in my time in the law office. You can do this—control your time. You're evaluated on your work, not how many meetings you attend. This is why I always recommend you start with getting control of your calendar. It's your calendar that controls one of your limitations—available time. Now, the other limitation, only being able to work on one thing at a time, means you can group similar tasks together and focus your efforts on clearing that list. For example, if you allocate an hour a day for dealing with your communications, you're not worrying about how many emails you have to respond to, you don't need to. All you need to do is begin with the oldest message and do as many as you can until your hour is up. If you consistently follow that process, you'll rarely have any communication backlogs. It's not about the number of emails and messages you have to respond to, it's about how much time you have available to respond to them. Do them all at the same time and that way you won't be jumping around inside multiple different apps trying to find what to do. It's the same with your admin and project tasks. It's never about how many you have to do at anyone time. It's about how much time you have available to do them. If you're work is largely project based, make sure you have sufficient time scheduled on your calendar for working on your project tasks each week. If you're role is mainly admin tasks—for example you're in customer support, then how much time, on average, do you need to do your work without the build up of backlogs each week? If you're focused on how much you have to do, you will always feel overwhelmed. If you focus on how much time you have available for working on different types of work, you'll be a lot less overwhelmed and you will be getting your work done. This also eliminates the impossible challenge of trying to estimate how long a task will take. Nobody can do that with any degree of accuracy. This comes back to you being a human being. Some days you'll be on fire and churn through a lot of work. Other days you'll be feeling exhausted and find everything you do is like trying to run through treacle. I hope that has helped, Lindsay. Thank you for your question, and thank you for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

Prepare to be inspired by Simon Penhaligon's one-weekend implementation of GTD. After agreeing to take on twice his usual workload, Simon knew he needed a new way of working. Over one intense weekend, he listened to the Getting Things Done audiobook, and set up his system. Since getting into the GTD groove, Simon has been able to handle the expanded workload, while driving his inbox to zero daily, and still spending evenings and weekends with his wife and daughter. He uses Microsoft Outlook for email and calendar, and Evernote for everything else.
