A Meeting of the Productivity-Focused Minds

By Neal 

merlinmann-davidallen.jpgI’m a huge fan of David Allen and Getting Things Done; I’m also a huge fan of Merlin Mann and his website 43 Folders, which builds off Allen’s ideas and takes them in his own direction. So when Mann announced that he’d conducted an extensive conversation with Allen, and would be running segments from it on his podcast, he had me at hello, as they say.

You can listen to the first two segments of “Productive Talk,” dealing with procrastination and patching leaks in the system, and more will follow. I really don’t have much else to say: Applying Allen and Mann’s ideas has helped me to start changing my own work life in productive ways, and I believe they can inspire you, too, if you give them a chance.
