The Yahoo Groups and the David Allen Co. Forums

The Yahoo Groups and the David Allen Co. Forums

I’ve mentioned a few times the Yahoo Groups, listed at the side, that are user-based groups that support other users of “Getting Things Done”.  I’ve also mentioned the forums at the David Allen Company’s website.  These are both wonderful sources of information for other GTD’ers.

There are three Yahoo! Groups – the Getting Things Done group, the GTD Palm group for Palm-OS users that have implemented GTD, and the Ready for Anything group, who review and analyze David Allen’s other book by the same name, with a chapter-a-week emphasis.  I heartily recommend each one of these groups, and I think they are frankly an outstanding resource for real-world reviews of software products that have been tried as implementations of GTD, advice and tips, support when you get bogged down, and general camaraderie.  Similarly, the forums at the David Allen Company’s website are outstanding resources as well, drawing in users of other products, including the David Allen Company’s own Outlook Plug-In for Getting Things Done.

I am sometimes amazed when I realize that some of the groups have over 1700 registered members.  Not all of the members are active – in fact, many of them aren’t, and are just lurking.  But they are there, and we’re all hoping they are getting something out of the discussions on the boards.  If you’re interested, c’mon by and give it a lurk.
