Black Belt Productivity

We are pleased today to publish a guest post from a longtime friend of BBP, Patrick Rhone. He is a well experienced practitioner of GTD, and is a master of what he calls “org-fu”. By day, Patrick is a workflow consultant, personal productivity coach, and web designer based out of St. Paul, MN. Bookmark www.patrickrhone.com for another great source of GTD based (among other things) web content. Special thanks to Patrick for the time he put into this writeup.

Jason Womack of the Jason Womack Company is one of the most respected names in personal productivity. Jason, as most of you know, is also a champion of Getting Things Done. He was a presenter for the David Allen Company for several years. These days, he coaches individuals and companies in enhancing workplace performance by implementing best practices in the workplace.

Jason also is a triathlete with a passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Today, we publish Jason’s thoughts on GTD and metrics.

The original question that kicked off this discussion was submitted by Mayra.

New twitter, friendfeed and BBP friend, Rahsheen Porter, has begun a new series on his blog, SheenOnline, detailing his usage of Remember the Milk (RTM) for his GTD system. It all began when I posted a link in the GTD FriendFeed room to a great post on the RTM blog titled Advanced GTD with Remember the Milk written by Doug Ireton. It is a well thought out system using just RTM.

Stephen Smith at Productivity in Context has weighed in on the discussion about GTD and metrics with a great post.

It is definitely a must read.
