was visiting the Making it all Work seminar featuring David Allen in Amsterdam yesterday. The seminar was organized by the David Allen Company<\/a> and Life Architect<\/a>. It was my third time that I visited one of David Allen\u2019s seminars. I also listen regularly to the audio version of the seminar. It was as usual a very good seminar, relaxed, focused and entertaining. It looks like it doesn\u2019t cost him any energy. Because I know what it is to have to present in a different time zone, it is amazing how he does it. With humor but with great persuasion he tells his story about productivity. You can read elsewhere on Internet about the content<\/a> of the seminar.<\/p>\n

There are two things I want to write about in this post regarding the seminar. First, David demoed his own system with Lotus Notes<\/a> with the eProductivity<\/a> add-on from Eric Mack. He also showed his extensive use of MindManager<\/a>. By doing this he showed first hand how it works in his own personal and professional life. I must say this was quite powerful. It resembled much of how I have set up my own system in Evernote<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you haven’t been to a seminar that is personally lead by David Allen you are missing an experience that at a minimum is an exceptional learning opportunity and for many people is literally transformational.\u00a0 Of course for a truly transformational experience you should consider attending the GTD Global Summit<\/a> which is taking place in San Francisco March 11th-13th of this year.<\/p>\n

In addition to David Allen, Guy Kawasaki will be delivering a keynote and there will be presentations by other notable GTD’ers, entrepreneurs, and experts on everything from technology to entrepreneurship.\u00a0 You’ll also have the chance to meet and mingle with a couple hundred other like minded people from companies both big and small.\u00a0 Already, the summit has registrations for individuals from companies like Meade, Xerox, UPS, Federal Express (those last two probably know a few things about how to get things done, eh?) and many more.<\/p>\n

Latest word is that for people registering in groups of 2 or more there’s a sliding scale of discounts that can be quite significant, especially for groups of 5 plus.\u00a0 If you’ve got a couple of friends that you think could benefit from a few days of intensive GTD therapy, this is a great chance to get them on board and at a serious reduction from the standard price for the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
