Forums - Ask David any question

Over on the DavidCo forum, Lisa asks:

If you could ask David Allen any one question about GTD, what would it be?

It mightn’t surprise you to know I’d want to learn a bit more implementation and about how David sees contexts working best for people whose work mostly happens in one place (recently).

But I’m especially curious to hear what you guys would ask, given the chance. What would you ask David Allen about Getting Things Done?

I would have several questions for David.

  1. What advice do you have about implementing GTD for an entire organization such as a team, a school, or a company. I’ve tried to spread the word at my own work, and while it’s catching on with some people, most of the office is still somewhat resistant. The hard part is getting people to just read the book in the first place. For example, I see a lot of potential for project managers to adopt a GTD system as standard practice in a company.

  2. If you could work with Apple’s Mac OS X development team, how would you incorporate GTD at the operating system level. It would be great for example to see Apple’s next version of Mail fully implement GTD with support from system-wide services, such as consolidated inboxes for both mail and documents.

  3. Since the publication of Getting Things Done, what would you change or modify? Since no system is perfect, what would GTD 2.0 look like?
