Who is this chick?
Hi! I’m Michelle Gunn. You probably know me as the host of the GTD® Virtual Study Group, a virtual community that discusses all things GTD and productivity. I’m also a project manager (PMP certified). I manage projects, teams, stakeholders, clients. Keeping all of that straight and all the pieces moving forward is like running a three-ring circus, and I love it! To keep things running smoothly, you have to be organized or its torture for everyone involved.
Projects lists worked for me for a long while, but I needed something more robust when I took on some slow-progress strategic projects as well as the “always on fire” client projects. Getting Things Done® by David Allen proved to be exactly what I needed. I’ve been practicing it ever since and turning co-workers on to it by example, as well.
Getting Things Done (or GTD for short) changed my life. I've always been list-oriented, balancing an overload of tasks at any given time. But GTD gave me a way to make sense of all my actions in a bigger picture kind of way. Imagine being excited by your to-do list, instead of repulsed by it! Being clear about the Why behind your task list really makes all the difference! Anyway, I could go on and on... just check it out, if you haven't already. And if you have, but it didn't float your boat... give it another shot. That's what happened for me, too.
