Getting (Back) to Getting Things Done | (GTD DC)
Details
==============================================
I. Introductions + Overview (6:30 PM)
A. Introductions - Each member will introduce yourself briefly, tell us what you do professionally (or otherwise), your GTD experience, and a recent success with your productivity implementation and/or life.
B. Challenges Forum - We'll give a few minutes to have the group help each member with solutions to challenges we may be facing currently with life or work circumstances with our productivity system. These are specific productivity challenges and only one challenge per member for time's sake.
II. Discussion Topic: Getting (Back) to Getting Things Done (7:20 PM - 7:40PM)

We have all had moments or periods in our lives when we strayed from getting things done, be that a birth or death, marriage or divorce, loss of a job, new job or title at work, or other major life events. It may not even have been so obvious, a depression that creeped up on you or even a good relationship that lured you away from your productive activities.
In Getting Things Done (GTD) we colloquially discuss the concept of "getting back on the horse," "falling off the wagon," and "getting back on the wagon." This phrase is for someone with a well-worn copy of Getting Things Done by David Allen. But, for many of you, it's the struggle of learning how to get on the wagon in the first place! What are the biggest hiccups in getting started, implementing tools, assessing/reassessing your current system, or continuing forward to some level of GTD mastery? That's the topic of this month's discussion. We'll discuss some of the pain points in starting with GTD and their pathways toward greater control and perspective. If any of the topics are big enough, they'll become future month's Meetup topics.
III. GTD Resource Sharing (7:40 PM) -- CALENDAR, TIME TRACKING & SCHEDULING TOOLS
This is where everyone can offer a book title, recent blog or magazine article, tip/trick/hack, tool, service or item that has helped them in their life either with GTD or otherwise. (We compile resources discussed and post them to our Resources Page in the GTDDC Google Group. Join us there (http://groups.google.com/group/getting-things-done-dc/)!)
I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BRING SOME KIND OF GTD OR PRODUCTIVITY RESOURCE THEY KNOW ABOUT OR USE TO OFFER TO THE GROUP!
IV. Announcements / Closing Remarks (7:50 PM)
Upcoming meetups, events, and programs announcements. All announcements must be sent to the Meetup Organizer within the RSVP form to announce to the group, at his/her sole discretion. Thank you!
