I need to reread this book as well. I was initially very excited about this book but found that over time that it led to ever-growing lists which was discouraging and eventually led to me abandoning being as discviplined about it as I set out to be. I still had a lot of positive takeaways, systems that I use on a slightly more relaxed basis to this day. I would definitely recommend reading "Four Thousand Weeks" and "The Four-Hour Work Week" to bring some balance. Especially if you have perfectionist tendencies, GTD can bring out a monster and ultimately be debilitating so proceed with caution. Looking online, I can tell I'm not alone in this sentiment.
Thanks for putting this together and sending it to me. I sort of used the system for years, but you have made me realise I've missed important bits off and undermined its effectiveness. Thanks so much - onward and upward.😊
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
@@boy_peeps If you go to August Bradleys channel, he has a series in which he goes in depth into the setup of the PPV system. If you follow along albeit verry time consuming because of the nature of the system, you should have a PPV system of your own.
Amazing, challenging but definitely makes a lot of sense, the computers work similar input, processing/temporary stored, output, long term stored, plus well organization skills, Interesting.
This was very helpful and will undoubtedly enhance productivity for many of us! That said... THANK YOU for your relentless effort to get us all information that can change our lives through your very special set of gifts and talents. You have earned massive blessings for what you have, and continue to give the world.
l always use daily book to track my life.set a goal such as reading 1 hour,30 push up.when it finshed,l would do tick.if not,l will finish it when second day morning.it is very useful life manner for me.
Wonderful. Rather I got curious on seeing your email to see how well you have summarized this Big Book with so much instructional part in it. Its great 1 Page covering it all, just Wow... You are doing amazing. Thank you so much.
i dont know if this will help anybody but something thats worked for me is removinf the speed, urgency and stress around what im doing. i used to try to get motivated and hammer through. but that took so long to get the motivation and it didnt last. now what i do is just do the things i need to do as calmly and relaxed and lazy as possible lol. i think the reason it takes so much motivation is because your worried about the stress of doing the thing. because its usually rushed and made stressful. now i turn it into relaxation time. chore time or work time are for me relaxation time. i just start something slowly with a cup of coffee or maybe breakfast or? whatever. music. then i do it slowly or at least as relaxed as possible. just focusing on things that come to mind as the next thing i should do. the next step. if you want a bigger goal maybe you need a list or something. ive never used it on huge things. but for getting chores and basic things done, job hunting. i turn it into chill time. i never do chores without adding in relaxation. and in this way ive changed how i feel about these tasks. they used to be work, now i know its just gonna be me being productive and feeling good about it with not alot of effort 😂 and ill stop to sip coffee or eat snacks as i do lol. i do move slower than i used to at getting things done time wise. but consistency wise which is where its at!! its easy now. just pick a task mentally that you think you should be doing. go get a drink turn on some music or whatever? tv? and chill it out lol.
I always look forward to your videos, being one of the first comments give me assurance that you will read what I have to say! An amazing initiative, extremely grateful towards your commitment and discipline. A very noble effort! Thanks
Sir, need help to implement it. Like any app or template or purely analog or purely digital. Because juggling between both analog and digital failed for me. I really need to build one like this. Thanks for the great video. Any inputs are welcome thanks
Can you elaborate what you’re using the Follow-up List for? I understand the Next Action, 2-min or less Next Actions, and Scheduling items in a Calendar, but the Follow-up list seems redundant.
The mind is for way more than that. And this is exhausting. I understand organizing and this might work for some, but definitely not for others. To me it sounds like a process for people with adhd.
I’m conscious Allen has a lot of different folders and systems in his GTD and the maintenance of them is somewhat contradictory. It’s just too busy and doesn’t translate well from office/work contexts.
Dude, have you ever tried to conform to such a rigorous system over an extended period? I agree that it would work but the level of admin and self discipline to make it work is just so high. What people really need is a personal assistant or an admin clerk of their own so that they dont have to use their brain capacity, time and energy trying to stick to an effective but arduous system like this. Ive tried many of these types of systems. You end up spending more time than you'd want caught up in the admin, sorting notes, than you'd really want to budget for. I guess this just depends on the volume of notes you take and other demands on your schedule (your level of busyness), but this is just too much admin to make a business executive's life any less stressful.
You are right, but this is not the way I want to live. Living like a computer and following rules in every part of my life might make me successful but unhappy. There are so many self help books and advices and still so many unhappy people especially in the US. Are they all lazy or dumb? I don't think so. Your method would put more stress on me I would fail after three days.
@michaelscott5382 I didn't read this book but I already live this way. And my take on this way of living is that.. With so many things to manage, it is less stressful to keep working memory 'less crowded' by listing things regularly. Cuz otherwise my cognitive resources goes into trying to remember all the list of stuff to do instead of evaluating whether my plans align with the goal.
thank you for the remaster, it's honestly impressive how the little things have improved in the half decade
You are always brilliant at summarising and your choices appear at the perfect time. I was just experiencing total overwhelm. Thank you for posting.

Had been searching for this one, just this morning, the universe has responded 😊
Thank you!
Your efforts are world class. Thankyou for all the knowledge you're providing! ❤️

This is the high level GTD system review that I needed, thank you!
One of the best channels on UA-cam, cheers bro for your work
A template for this in Notion would be gold.
There are some out there.
Read my comments above. Should be helpful to you.
Check out August Bradley's - Pillars, Pipelines and Vaults (PPV) system, It's very similar to this GTD system.
@@Faiz0r the PPV system is $1500; albeit, comes with a year of mentoring.

I often wonder how to habitualise these principles. Thank you for the breakdown.
man, you consistently put out great content, love it.
Great video. Would love to see a video focused on the Natural Planning Method for project planning. That’s an integral part of GTD.
Thanks your summaries have been a great help
another brilliant video! job well done, Nathan! keep it up man, you're changing thousands of people's lives world wide for better. God bless you.
Practical videos are always the best self development videos. Cheers
*Love this detailed explanation for really Getting meaningful work done, work that matters*

I literally just searched for this on your channel, and you have a _new_ video on it! 😄Awesome!
A great practicable guide

Oh balle balle praaji
@@bryxxdore4150 Bro
Thank you so much for explaining it this way. I've read the book twice and was still confused about how exactly to set up the process.
Have I been saying the word processing wrong my entire life? Great video!
Great actionable summary of GTD
Great summary. Thank you 😊
i dont know if this will help anybody but something thats worked for me is removinf the speed, urgency and stress around what im doing.
i used to try to get motivated and hammer through. but that took so long to get the motivation and it didnt last.
now what i do is just do the things i need to do as calmly and relaxed and lazy as possible lol.
i think the reason it takes so much motivation is because your worried about the stress of doing the thing.
because its usually rushed and made stressful.
now i turn it into relaxation time. chore time or work time are for me relaxation time. i just start something slowly with a cup of coffee or maybe breakfast or? whatever. music.
then i do it slowly or at least as relaxed as possible. just focusing on things that come to mind as the next thing i should do. the next step.
if you want a bigger goal maybe you need a list or something. ive never used it on huge things.
but for getting chores and basic things done, job hunting. i turn it into chill time. i never do chores without adding in relaxation.
and in this way ive changed how i feel about these tasks. they used to be work, now i know its just gonna be me being productive and feeling good about it with not alot of effort 😂 and ill stop to sip coffee or eat snacks as i do lol.
i do move slower than i used to at getting things done time wise. but consistency wise which is where its at!! its easy now.
just pick a task mentally that you think you should be doing. go get a drink turn on some music or whatever? tv? and chill it out lol.
Thank you for this! ❤
Excellent. Thanks very much for bringing this
This is a great summary. Thank you for sharing!
I always look forward to your videos, being one of the first comments give me assurance that you will read what I have to say!
An amazing initiative, extremely grateful towards your commitment and discipline. A very noble effort! Thanks
Thanks so much for this!
Ah! The processing later step!
Sir, need help to implement it. Like any app or template or purely analog or purely digital. Because juggling between both analog and digital failed for me. I really need to build one like this. Thanks for the great video. Any inputs are welcome thanks
thanks so much
Fantastic job, Nathan.
This is the best book
@Productivity Game What applications do you use to write down. Todoist, google calendar?
Can you elaborate what you’re using the Follow-up List for? I understand the Next Action, 2-min or less Next Actions, and Scheduling items in a Calendar, but the Follow-up list seems redundant.
thank you thank you
Thats so many different lists doesnt that get messy? Maybe with some Software?
Zoho Notebook, it has To do list, sticky notes, notebook categories and can be used to store any file.
My doubt is: is it possible to gather all the GTD lists in just one app. If so,what would be the most useful one?
Omnifocus or Things3
You produce incredible content
It was a good one
Waterproof note pad. Love it.
You are the best👍🏻
How much time do you put into the processing session everyday??
Thanks..great system
A beautiful video my friend :) I enjoyed watching your videos so far.... thanks for sharing :),,,.
Really helpful video sir 🎉🎉🎉
I am an evernote user also and i have watched the video twice , do you think i need to read the book ?
Audio book yes
Genius
Thank for the amazing video
Question: how can I stop thinking/doing a subconscious thought? My subconscious thought is: "stop moving my tongue while speaking"
Thanks for video!
The mind is for way more than that. And this is exhausting. I understand organizing and this might work for some, but definitely not for others.
To me it sounds like a process for people with adhd.
I’m conscious Allen has a lot of different folders and systems in his GTD and the maintenance of them is somewhat contradictory. It’s just too busy and doesn’t translate well from office/work contexts.
Brillant
I typed my email an submitted it and didn’t recieve the one page
Awsome❤️

That’s my beef with this too. If the time management system is too needy of constant management, it won’t work.
Agreed
I did not get the 1 page pdf summary
Did you check junk.
link for the PDF file doesn't work :)
Should work now. Please try again
👍
How to overengineer a todo list. :D
You are right, but this is not the way I want to live. Living like a computer and following rules in every part of my life might make me successful but unhappy.

✨📝✅
Google algorithms have responded :-P
Listened twice now and it just too complex and messy. On top of that, mixing digi and analog systems is way too clunky.
Sounds rigid.
Master To-Do list book is much better than this
That system is very stressful ñ. Ridiculous way to life your life
Yeah, micromanaging and hyperprocessing every though and action is a recipe for anxiety.
Yes, I was reading this book but it was too much for me
