Taco Oosterkamp, bekend van zijn werk met de door David Allen ontwikkelde methode Getting Things Done (GTD), schaamteloos delegeren, en zijn recente focus op AI-toepassingen voor leiderschap, deelt hoe hij ondernemers en leiders helpt om slimmer en effectiever te werken. Van vroege fascinatie voor technologie tot het optimaliseren van werkprocessen: Taco heeft altijd een passie gehad voor oplossingen die écht werken.De podcast begint met zijn kijk op delegeren, iets waar veel ondernemers moeite mee hebben. Taco benadrukt dat delegeren niet alleen gaat over werk overdragen, maar ook over slim omgaan met tijd en energie. Hij introduceert het concept van "nikkel-, zilver- en goudwerk" om prioriteiten te stellen. De kunst? Minder tijd besteden aan het "nikkelwerk" en meer ruimte maken voor strategische en creatieve taken die echt impact maken. De tip om een Virtual Assistant in te schakelen om tijd te winnen is een must-try voor wie de eerste stappen wil zetten!Naast zijn pragmatische kijk op leiderschap en werk, vertelt Taco ook hoe GTD zijn leven veranderde. Hij beschrijft hoe het systeem hem rust en overzicht bracht – een helder hoofd zonder rondwarende gedachten. Het magische moment toen hij zonder stress met zijn dochter knikkerde, blijft hem bij als bewijs dat GTD meer is dan een productivity-systeem; het creëert mentale ruimte. Taco daagt leiders uit om zowel hun persoonlijke als professionele processen te optimaliseren.Tot slot zoomt het gesprek in op de impact van AI op werk en leiderschap. Taco moedigt ondernemers aan om te experimenteren met AI-tools. Zijn boodschap? Blijf nieuwsgierig en betrokken, zodat je zelf kunt bepalen hoe je AI slim inzet. “Als wij het niet doen, nemen anderen die keuzes voor ons,” waarschuwt hij.Btw: Gratis inspiratieboek van Taco: "100 Slimme manieren om tijd vrij te maken met AI, voor ondernemers en andere leiders" Ga naar: https://delegeren.com/tijd

Text your thoughts and questions!While I don't presume to know what your life is all about, I bet I can guess one thing about you: you handle a LOT.

I share the origins of this technique, what it is, how it connects to mind sweeps and clutter, and give you actionable steps to take right now to try it for yourself. I cover the following topics:The negative impacts of an overwhelmed and cluttered mind. The concept of “capturing” as outlined in David Allen's “Getting Things Done” (GTD) productivity framework.How to properly do a “mind sweep” and two resources you can use when you're ready. My personal approach and preferred tools to this technique of capturing in my multi-passionate life.Don't be afraid to keep trying until you figure out what works best for you.

On today's episode, we welcome the remarkable David Allen, a master of productivity and author of the groundbreaking book "Getting Things Done." In this enlightening conversation, David reveals the spiritual underpinnings of his renowned methodology and shares profound insights into how we can manage our lives with clarity and purpose. His teachings are not just about getting tasks done but about achieving a state of mental peace that allows us to live more fully and authentically.David's journey began in the turbulent 1960s at Berkeley, where he was more interested in achieving personal enlightenment than pursuing a conventional career. "I got fascinated by clear space," he reflects. This fascination led him to drop out of graduate school and embark on a quest for self-discovery. Along the way, he took on various jobs, from running a service station to managing a landscape company, always seeking ways to simplify and improve processes. This eclectic experience laid the foundation for what would become his life's work.David discovered that the key to productivity lies in maintaining a clear mind. He emphasizes that our minds are for having ideas, not for holding them. "Your mind is for having ideas, not for holding them," he asserts. By externalizing our tasks and commitments into a trusted system, we can free up mental space for creative and strategic thinking. This principle is the cornerstone of his Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, which has helped countless individuals and organizations achieve greater efficiency and peace of mind.David explains that one of the most important steps in his GTD approach is identifying and capturing everything that has our attention. This involves writing down all tasks, no matter how small, and organizing them in a way that allows for easy access and review. "What you need to do is first of all, you need to identify everything that's got your attention. That's not on cruise control," he explains. By doing so, we can ensure that nothing slips through the cracks and that we can engage with each task at the appropriate time.In discussing the practical aspects of his methodology, David also touches on the spiritual dimension of productivity. He believes that being clear and organized allows us to be more present and engaged with our lives. "It's about how you feel," he says, highlighting the importance of inner clarity and focus. This approach not only enhances our productivity but also supports our spiritual well-being by reducing stress and fostering a sense of control and balance.David's insights are both profound and practical, offering a holistic approach to managing our lives. He emphasizes the importance of the "two-minute rule," which suggests that if a task can be completed in two minutes or less, it should be done immediately. This simple yet powerful principle helps prevent small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming. "Anything you can do in two minutes that still needs to be done should be done right then because it would take you longer to remember or write it down," he advises.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSClear Mental Space: David's emphasis on maintaining a clear mental space encourages us to regularly declutter our minds, allowing us to focus on the present moment and what truly matters.Externalizing Tasks: By externalizing our tasks and commitments, we free our minds from the burden of holding information, thereby enhancing our creativity and strategic thinking.Actionable Steps: Breaking down large tasks into manageable, actionable steps helps reduce procrastination and makes it easier to engage with our commitments.In this profound conversation, David offers a wealth of wisdom on how to navigate our lives with greater clarity and purpose. His GTD methodology is not just about getting things done; it's about creating a system that supports our overall well-being and spiritual growth. By externalizing tasks and focusing on actionable steps, we can free our minds to engage more fully with the present moment and our broader life goals.Please enjoy my conversation with David Allen.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

David Allen's insights into self-management, coupled with the challenges and opportunities presented by a digital world, provided a robust discourse on staying productive amidst a sea of distractions. Key Discussion Points The origins and evolution of David Allen's GTD methodology and its widespread influence since its inception Transitioning to remote work: how David Allen's company adapted by scaling down and partnering with Vital Learning. The critical role of self-management over time management in a remote work setting. Strategies for enhancing team productivity and communication in a remote environment, including the concept of "channel creep." The development of work culture and productivity norms within remote teams, emphasizing the need for clear communication protocols. The intersection of AI technology and productivity practices, discussing the potential and limits of AI in implementing GTD.

Mark explains his unique system for managing his day to day tasks after years of struggling with ADHD. For Mark, it's all about managing his energy and honoring his mindset in the current moment. If the "dirt pile" calls (his affectionate name for an ongoing earthmoving project in his backyard), then that's what he does, whether or not it's the "best" or most important use of his time in the moment. Over the years, Mark has learned that allowing himself space to indulge in physical tasks often has the benefit of settling his mind and, therefore, putting him in a good headspace to tackle bigger, more stressful business challenges. For Mark, productvitiy follows his headspace.   Jesse, on the other hand, has a very different style for getting things done. Jesse is a man of systems, and he's also a man with a long to-do list. He mentions how in the past he has been called out for letting tasks slip or needing reminders to follow up on things. So for Jesse the priority is making sure that tasks don't live in his head, but are organized in a good system. He likes David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity system, which asks a person to first organize and sort through their list of tasks before tackling them. With a good categorization of tasks in place, it becomes easier to execute tasks at the time and place when you can do them, rather than relying on your mind's own reminder system which often reminds you when you can't do anything about the task! Jesse adds a weekly review to his process, to make sure he's working on things that matter -- in business and personal life -- and not avoiding challenging tasks by filing his day with low-level admin work.   The takeaway? People can get things done with very different approaches. One key to figuring out what will work for you is to recognize and honor who you are. As Mark's mentor says, you can't will yourself to be the kind of person who systematically categorizes and organizes tasks if that's who you are by nature. Once you accept that, then you can find the system that works for you.   Mark Butler, Virtual CFO The Money School: https://moneyschool.works https://markbutler.com https://letsdothebooks.com   YNAB https://www.youneedabudget.com
