that happens to me, too. I read a book by the Dali Lama, and the translator had caught his mode of English so well that it was like listening to him speak.

I think it’s a sign of a vigorous imagination - a well-wired brain…… :)

I did note that Mr Allen seems a little frustrated with a lot of the typical questions - I wonder if he’s kind of ‘had enough’ of the whole GTD juggernaut. Then again, there are always the same dumb-ass questions you get from lazy wannabes on the forum of any topic you care to mention.

I find now that I’ve started actually implementing the system, instead of just thinking about it, that re-reading is very useful - it makes a lot more sense and is less overwhelming.

When I first read GTD, I heard it in Merlin’s voice.

Do you know that self-talk voice, the one that you talk to inside your head as you talk to yourself? You might not actually recognize that voice, it’s qualities or inflection, or even it’s basic sound. Listen for that voice, because GTD is a great system for talking to yourself without having the conversation veer into hell-and-damnation territory.

Be well, Dr.M

I went to his seminar in Seattle last June and during a break talked to him about the other podcasts he does on the GTD Connect site.

I told him that not only do I hear his voice when I read GTD related stuff, but also that listening the the GTD podcasts he does somehow motivates me to get clear and current.

Turning on a GTD podcast and listening to David talk about GTD is sort of a mind-hack that I use to get myself going for a weekly review.
