Celebrating One Year of GTD (what did it change...
This is without fanfare that have celebrated one year of implementing David Allen’s Getting Things Done. This post is about what changed for me one year after. I won’t go into what is GTD as there is plethora of resources available on the internet. So without further due here it is. It was in March 2009 that I picked up the book and started reading it. I had no idea where it would...
