Productive Talk Compilation: 8-episode podcast with GTD's David Allen

Productive Talk Comp.: Episodes 01-08 on Odeo

As promised, here’s the single-file compilation of the Productive Talk podcast interviews I did with David Allen, the author of Getting Things Done. The final version’s eight episodes clock in at a considerable one hour and twenty-six minutes, so this should give you plenty to listen to while you’re in line at the DMV.

Some editing misadventures stole the time I’d set aside to write up my final comments on the series, but those will be coming along soon, I promise. In the mean time, as I said in the podcast ep., I want to sincerely thank David, Rick Kantor, Robert Peake, and Zircon Skye Studios for their participation and help with the Productive Talk series. David in particular was unbelievably generous with his time, and I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity to interview him.

Hope you all enjoy hearing the whole series, in order, all in one place. There’s some nuggets of GTD gold in there, if I do say so myself.

Please note: the version included in the podcast feed is a lowly but compatible MP3 file; Apple-y folks with iPods and sexy AAC support can grab this tastier m4a version, which includes chapter markers that make it easy to flip through the individual episodes quickly.

Well, you really schookered me...it...

Well, you really schookered me…it was listening to this in pieces that finally kicked me in tha ass enough to actually get GTDed, after having the book for months (and the audio version for almost a year) and drooling over your site and other orgpr0n.

Little did I know that there would be a “dark night of the soul” in the middle of it. I wrote about it on satorimedia, but I’m curious if you or others experienced it, too, when you first got started. Maybe I just didn’t see it coming, but I don’t remember anyone writing about that feeling of despair when you see the pile of unfinished projects in front of you…
