That’s right – GTD was written in the early 2000s for pen and paper applications. For example, concepts like “death by a thousand papercuts” or “have a compelling why” are important parts of making any productivity system work. GTD is a very mechanical system – which is why it works brilliantly for some, but explodes spectacularly for others.Īgile Results tries to teach you the mindsets, habits and principles behind real productivity as well as the mechanical structures you need to help you work productively. Agile Results also teaches the psychology of productivity 5% is processing tasks – that 5% is where you take what you know about GTD and plug it in to crunch action items. Agile Results incorporates GTD… sortaĪbout 95% of Agile Results is about structure, setup and psychology. It also has the flexibility to recognize that you may not want to do a particular type of tasks today, and to neatly move those tasks to a better time and place. Simply putting things into a system and then processing things out may be efficient, but you have to put the right things in, otherwise you get garbage-in-garbage-out:Īgile Results lets you create tasks lists based on what is important to you – today, this week, this month and this year.
This can be great in some situations… and disastrous in others. You just pick a context and go, regardless of your mood, energy level or deep priorities. When you use GTD, it’s all about the tasks – and all tasks are pretty much equal. With list-upon-list of tasks and more contexts that you can count, there is no real way to zoom out and get a good look at everything going in your life. The one thing GTD really lacks is that 30,000ft cruising-altitude view of your life. Agile Results incorporates goals and outcomes If you’ve been on the edge about switching to Agile Results, here are 6 great reasons why. Not that GTD isn’t awesome, it just misses a lot of things given the complexity of our lives nowadays.
Here’s a short, fun article about why I prefer JD Meier’s Agile Results as a foundational productivity system more than Getting Things Done (GTD).
