Is it time for you to “GSD”?

A good friend of mine has spent their life making sure they had everything in their head all the time at any time. As you can imagine, their recent discovery of a personal productivity tool that works for them has been transformational. The tool they use is very popular and been around for two decades or so, called “GTD” or “Getting Things Done“.

In short, rather than filling one’s brain with “to do” lists and more, find a way to get that out of your head to leave space for creativity and productive thought. For me, I use Evernote for that as well as mindset management so my mind is (generally!) clear for my best work and thinking.

Now, another friend (and also a client with a wide and varied number of business areas to consider) has been spending time with me aligning on their focus going into 2020. Part of this at this particular phase for the business is to move from thinking and talking to plans, action, accountability.

They already are highly productive, so this is far less about written plans and productivity methods, but time to enter not into the GTD mode, but the GSD mode, elevating to the GSD mindset that is so appropriate for them at this time.

What is GSD? Global Somali Diaspora? Global Schools of Design? Gibraltar Social Democrats? Nope, simply:

Get S**t Done
