Backpack: New GTD Implementation Ideas

A new client of mine, we're meeting in a little more than a week. He called to ask if it was OK if he could blog about our lifecoaching stuff. Also, I think he plans to bring his wife.

I said yes. The only reason that I'm posting here is that I will focus a lot on GTD stuff. Some it canonical David, and some of it more my interpretation. Also, I'm not a 'whole-system-all-the-time' type of coach. I want to develop GTD strategies to counteract feelings of helplessness and being trap.

Since Merlin seems to have a discerning eye for hip, quirky t's, I dutifully point one and all to:

I like the idea of, and use the structure of projects with clearly defined goals. Once a project is complete, if the output/result of it has any kind of ongoing use and maintenance, I'm curious how people handle the transition from project documentation to procedural documentation.

Do you have a set of apps that do it all happily, or do you tinker with shiny new things?

I'll admit it, I'm an applications tart. I started off with Mac Mail, then heard good things about TBird, got annoyed with that... now I've switched to Entourage, and 'so far so good'. (despite the massive job of dealing with the hundreds of old unprocessed emails)

I've been tinkering with Wikis, signed up for BackPackit (no images on the free one....:( )and am beta-testing another funky task organizing ap. Oh, not to mention Sciral Consistency and Scrivener...

My firm just posted this ten-minute presentation to give prospective clients a feel for what we do.

Given the presentation's focus on making a small change in trade for a big impact, and given the great posts on presentations Merlin's written, I thought it appropriate to share it here.

I welcome your thoughts and comments!

I have this dry-erase board I use for quick notes -- dashing off phone numbers, little reminders, that kind of thing. I've found it much easier than searching for something to write on/with when I'm on the phone, and I can't stand typing notes while I'm talking.

Thing is, a lot of the items on the board are short-lived, especially the phone numbers; I need them when I need them, but they don't make the cut when it comes to inputing them into Address Book or whatever.Obviously, I erase the white board fairly regularly.
