Please arrive at 6:00PM to get your name badge, mix-and-mingle and complete the Challenges Forum signup form so we can start promptly!
I. Introductions + Overview (6:15 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: GTD|REFRESH: Capturing / Collecting (7:20 PM - 7:40PM)
As part of our regular discussion series on core Getting Things Done (GTD) principles, we will be discussing the first step in the GTD Workflow diagram/map, capturing (or, collecting). Capturing is a skill that you must learn, then a habit you need to develop, in order to get into that first stage of stress-free productivity promised by Getting Things Done (http://x.co/getgtd). We will cover the following concepts in the discussion:
• defining and honing your capturing in different work and personal environments;
• collection buckets and capturing tools; and,
• the concept of "ubiquitous capture" for getting to Getting Things Done.
III. GTD Resource Sharing (7:40 PM) -- CATEGORY: Music/Entertainment
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. The above category is a recommended focus for sharing, but you may share any productivity resource that has helped you on your GTD journey.(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! You might think something is simple, plain, obvious or known already, but you would be surprised that sharing this knowledge is always helpful to new and veteran GTDers!
