This really helps me think differently about those "to do's" that are actually projects! Those tasks that I can't get started on, if I look at them as projects it suddenly makes it seem more doable. Looking forward to reading the book and learning more from you!!
Love your videos as always!
Vicki
You should totally post a video "tour" of your workspace! And if you're using all the GTD physical setup stuff like an in-tray, what you use and how you use it :) I love everything you do!
I learned about this method when I was going to a psychological clinic a few days in the week and I knew it was something I could use to keep track of things. This video made it visual for me, which makes me understand it a lot better. When you show your new weekly spread it sparked some new ideas, inspiration and motivation on how to use it for myself and which will also help me section projects into the smallest steps possible (as I still have some difficulties tackling larger projects). Absolutely love it! Thanks.
I absolutely love GTD and have implemented it for years. It fell by the wayside when I stopped using Outlook for my personal email (I still use it at work) so I was wanting to incorporate it into my bullet journalling which I have only recently started. It's so helpful to see this video as a newbie to bullet journalling - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for doing this. It's funny I just read GTD last month and I've been using the Bullet Journal system now since September of last year. The two systems are at odds with each other a bit, but I knew there must be a way to reconcile the differences within the Bullet Journal environment. Having a dedicated GTD notebook makes a lot of sense. Thanks for showing how you do it.
This was a wonderfully efficiently communicated video that was really helpful!
This video is so brilliant. Thank you!! I have read GTD a number of years ago. I wasn't aware that David had updated it recently. Anyway your clarity of thinking about the GTD method combined with working using a Bullet Journal is really inspiring. I now need to look at GTD again. Thanks so much!!
I saw this is our book shelf yesterday, took it down and put it on my night stand to read "someday". Maybe that day is today.
Thanks for your videos, you really inspire me.
You're definitely a genius.
A mad genius at that! Showing your work with systems for getting the clutter/ ideas and inspiration out. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
This video was recommended to me in the comments on one of my videos and i have to say, i'm amazed! And your handwriting! It's unbelivebly beautiful! You have a new subscriber :)
+Tjaša Deu Aw, thanks so much! :)
I was going through youtube videos looking for the way people organize their bullet journal and I absolutely love your spreads. Very elegant. I like that you've used a light blue pen to mark out borders and keep things in order and then used a black pen for listing items. I think I'm going to adopt this method! I also loved the bonus book review. I am such a word nerd and go through books very quickly, so I am always looking for a new one to read. (Im stuck on this really boring one about Roberts Rules of Order right now and will only recommend it if you are having trouble sleeping!) So I just downloaded the updated version of GTD from audible and can't wait to hear it! Thanks very much! Wonderful post!
Excited to see the shop!
A great post. I am just finding this video. Thank you. The book is great. I am working through it again.
Timeless! Thank you for the video and printables!
Yay! This is so beyond helpful, Kara! Thank you for spreading your knowledge to the rest of us productivity junkies! (And I'm definitely picking up one of those Filofax notebooks) ❤️
I don't usually comment on CZcams but I HAD to say that your handwritten designs and word art are so impressive. Thanks for the video.
Wow, it's like you read my mind! I was already setting up a separate notebook for my project's master list and I needed to find some tips on how to put it together.
I really liked this GTD method that resembles the non linear time management method I am trying to implement.
Great video as always ❤
+nicoles.journal Thanks girlie! I always appreciate your feedback :)
Really informative. I recently bought the book but haven't read it yet. As a long time Bullet Journal user I was really keen to see how other were incorporating the key ideas so I can bear them in mind as I read through the book. This has definitely given me food for thought. Thanks!
Love it! I will definitely be watching this one a couple of times. Thank you for sharing your system of GTD!
+Katie Murdock You're very welcome Katie! :)
great balance of summary and deep dive, thanks for the vid!
Wow! Thank you! and a big YAY towards Monday also :)
Another step to do if a 'thing' is not actionable is to see if you can break it down into tasks that are.
Such a great video and definitely inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing! I'll be rewatching all weekend hahah
I've heard about this book so many times but never read it, I'm going to have to get it!
+Our Family Home Life (Meals, Hauls, DIY) It's definitely worth it! An overview like this can get you started and give you an idea of how it works, but reading the book really cemented the system for me :)
I love your videos! I am just beginning bullet journaling and am feeling very confused with all of the options. Your videos keep this all in one place for me and I love your style. Thank you for sharing.
Hey Kara, I live in India and I seriously love your videos, particularly the Monday tips. I was already trying to use the GTD with the Bullet journal. What I did is that I used the older box bullet for projects and then used the dot bullet for tasks. Projects in progress have the have a half slash in the box, ongoing projects have a cross and finished ones are colored in. So I didn't have to do any changes to my basic bujo pages. I also used the collections to brain dump, I was struggling with the themes and yours are ideal. Thanks.
I would love to see an update now that you've been using the system for a couple of months. Will probably get this book.
So much great information! I was going to re-do my weekly layout today because I don't like my current one and I'll be borrowing some ideas from yours. I hope you don't mind and thank you for sharing :)
You are such an inspiration! I am currently traveling through Asia for the next months but I am so excited to start bullet journaling again when I am back. You are literally so good at explaining things and make me feel less weird about how I enjoy planning and being productive! Favorite CZcams channel by far 😍😍😍
And happy birthday 🎁 I hope you're having a good one!
+Boho Berry - Have you stuck with your GTD setup? Or what GTD practices have you kept since you made this video? I've watched several of your most recent videos and didn't notice you mentioning it.
I'm so happy you posted this! A few weeks before I heard you mention the book, I just had an inspiration and bought two self-help books in English (GTD and the Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg) and now I'm done with GTD and half way through the other one. GTD did seem quite complicated as some of the terms he used I wasn't able to translate to my language. Now I'll definitely reread at least some parts and make notes using this video!
+Sonja N I love the Power of Habit as well! Such a great read :)
Amazing video! I've been waiting for it, I can't wait to incorporate GTD into my BuJo ❤ it was super informative! Most productive 20 min of the day 😊
+Riccardo C. Glad to hear that, Riccardo! Thanks :)
Hey Kara, I'm curious about how the daily to-do page looks now!
I am definitely going to get that book! I already do most of what you covered, but I haven't been breaking down the smaller projects into tasks like I know I should. For instance, I will write down to film a video today on a specific topic for my channel. I will then write to upload and share it. As you know, a lot of tasks are required to get those things done. Going forward, I am going to create recurring task lists for such projects. This will also help me realize how long it takes to do them so I can schedule them more realistically. Thanks for another awesome video. You rock!
+The Organized Author That was a huge eye opener for me as well. Thanks for the thoughtful comment! :)
Hey OPC..what do you do?
Robert Spiller I have a CZcams channel called Organized Planner Chic and an Etsy shop called LucindadoriPlanners. I'm also an independent publisher, and my company name is Made By Me Publications
Organized Planner Chic
Wow that's sounds like fun...I'm sure you connect with a lot of people...and so do I...I give wine tastings and networking events here in Metro Detroit, but we're expanding to other parts of the country. So let me ask you do you or do you have friends and family that enjoy wine?
It 's what I need! Thank you!
Totally inspired with ur video. Ur Chanel was requested to me by a friend. She said ur Chanel is freaking awesome and this is the first time I agree with her.
Brilliant, thank you so much. Love your videos
Please make sure it's ok to have the workflow As a printable . You do not want any copyright issues
as long as she is not selling that doc she is fine.
Where are you listing your next actions? Are you creating a list on a daily page somewhere? Or adding it to your second column...thanks!
Thank you for the visual portion!! My brain had a hard time wrapping around this idea 😆 perfect for my adhd brain 🧠
Minute 15:22 awsome! I like the coloring, the icons, it looks very beautiful! :)
Couldn't help subscribing to your channel after watching your first bujo video :) I'm 'stealing' your horizon and will be implementing it in my bujo. It's far too cluttery right now.
Best explanation on how to use GTD in a bujo I've found. I have been trying to get it to work in my own bujo for months but couldn't get it quite right so I dropped it. After this video I'll be starting it again and will get myself a nice notebook for just being a GTD bucket list as you described it.
Hey Freddy I'm curious...what do you do?
Robert Spiller I'm in Tech Support a semi-leading role. I have several inboxes like e-mail, our call registration tool, Trello and a few other minors. I am always looking for ways to simplify my work and make it more efficient.
Freddy Vermanen
OK...I was curious. And yes its always good to find ways to simplify work, especially when we work for someone else. I remember those days when I constantly looked for ways to make my life and work simpler and better. For me, I think I'm leaning toward the PANDA PLANNER.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I did a huge "brain dump" a couple months ago .. have my lists but haven't been effective in getting past that. I'm 3rd in line to borrow the audio book from the library.. in the meantime I've gotten so much value from your share (watched it twice!) and look forward to adopting some of your practices in my own planning.
+pTanino You're very welcome! There's definitely something to be said for getting all of those nagging projects and tasks out of your brain :)
Excellent Video - loved it :-) I have been a great fan of David Allen and GTD since his first book came out ... I have used his system ever since ....one of the best reminders for me and what I ask others is "Is that actionable?" Really helps understand why so many things don't actually get done, because the steps aren't there .... Love it :-)
+Deborah Rose Absolutely! That was one of the huge things I took away as well. That, and if it can be done in less than 2 minutes, then do it now :)
I'm in the middle of reading that book. I think your take on the system is a little different than, and better than, the original. He doesn't break the steps as small, and I think your addition of that is inspired.
Hi! How do you capture/collect everything? Do you have a noteapp? And how do you execute your weekly review? Xoxo
I want to do this! Absolutely love it. It has been a while, are you still using this system? Could you maybe do a (short) update as to how it evolved or why you stopped using it? :)
Very nice! Thanks!
Another game changer! WOW!
Hello ive just signed up to your page and ordered the book. How could I get access to your printables cause I just love all your work awesome and great way to follow and learn, thanks and greetings from Mexico
I really don't know how to get things done ... Like I do all the steps for the organization and I set everything but then I just don't do it (the last step and the most important one )
That is so me, I look at all the steps and just sigh, "Man, how am I going to do all that?!"😁🤗 Which of course doesn't get anything done 😉. One of these days, I'll get it. I just gotta keep on trying🤗.
I did have same problem, till I get advise, do three think a day and if you have more time, do next and next. But only three are very important, so no sweat if you do only three, but great if you do more. I did not believe how much more I do without long list. You know what you do not want to do, but must so do it first, than something which need be done, and last something you will enjoy to do. It work, take little time to get your mind set in "program" but it work great.
Diana Nazari: I am a great planner/researcher, I suck as a doer. ADD plays a big role in that. I have horrible concept of time and time required for tasks.
Just finished listening to this weeks freakinomics podcast and the subject was productivity. Totally recommend listening to it as well.
+Gracie Stering Yes! I love it as well :)
it's here 😍👍
why not just have a signifier for a someday/maybe list instead of having to rewriting them down twice?
Great video Kara. Are you still using this system? Have you made any changes? I’m just starting to read GTD, and seeing a practical application of it is really helpful. Thanks!
Brilliant thank you.
Hi - I just stumbled upon this video while looking for bullet journaling resources. The boho berry links are stale. Is there some other place where I can locate the printable that you refer to in your video?
This has been very enlightening for me...now back to the bujo drawing board.
I have heard you talk about a seperate business Bujo a few times in your videos. What is in one or the other? Do you have a video on your business Bujo?
OMG, I LOVE IT ;D
WOW, THANKS
Can you use the Filofax as a bujo? I haven't started mine yet but I have a Filofax and don't want to mess up an expensive journal till I know what I'm doing!
+msluvtodraw2 I've wondered this, too. I think I'd like the option of being able to remove, move, reusing a page.
I just love your handwriting. Mine is neat but I write so big! I am going to work on that!
+Tassie C. Aw, thank you! :)
i really love this idea of incorporating the GTD stystem into a BUJO. but my question to you is how do you keep your BUJO for errorless , free from whiting out and so forth.
I actually make mistakes in it all the time! Check this out! czcams.com/video/GFWG5lZ7sAE/video.html
Hi Kara! Can you provide a link for the GTD notebook you use here in this video if possible please?
Hey, Julieann! It's this one: www.gouletpens.com/filofax-notebooks/c/334/?sortBy=productName+asc&facetValueFilter=Tenant~Overall_Size%3Aa5
Holy crow batman, this is incredibly helpful!
+HeatherRenee619 Aw, thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful :)
We're moving on Friday + Saturday so when you talk about 'projects' vs. the tasks to complete those projects were eye-opening... ie. Packing... hello! lol... Well, the packing project is sorting, organizing, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, telling the kids for the 876th time to pack their own stuff, making sure hubby knows what he's supposed to be doing without getting into "trouble" (he lovingly 'helped' me by packing my shoes... oye....) which are all 'tasks'. Sorry for rambling - this video came at the perfect time.
subscribed, you are awesome !
Great video that I'll be rewatching so I can take notes. I love elements of both bujo and gtd. I admit that GTD has seemed a bit complicated so this is a nice intro to help me break it down.
I am also awaiting your Etsy shop grand opening. Will you be selling printables and/or stencils?
+Lucy Samuels Thanks! I'll be selling stickers, printables, and stencils to start. I'll be adding in some stationery later on this year :)
Great...can't wait!
another amazing vid kara ice just started a bullett journal to keep on top of work all inspired by you and im now infecting my colleagues with your vids;) if you like this book you should check out the how tk be a productivity ninja its so fun and quite enlightening
what are the legit names for the filofax removable sheets notebook and the ring bound ones?? i am trying to find the filofax removable sheets notebook but i only come across the ring bound ones. HALP.
It's called a Filofax Notebook.
I love your videos!
I was wondering - why do you have separate notebooks (eg Persoal bujo, Blog+Biz bujo, GTD) for everything rather than putting it all into one notebook? You clearly have a very organised system and love what you do so I'm curious to know why having separate notebooks is your process of choice? I'm trying to consolidate all my systems as much as possible (because I get distracted and confused across them) but yours must work well for you :)
+Nadee Guy The main reason is that if I put everything into one notebook, I would go through a notebook every month. I like keeping "Work" & "Personal" separate as well. There is some overlap at times, but I like the compartmentalization :)
Boho Berry Sounds like something I'd definitely be into! My mind definitely loves structure too :)
Miss your videos.
I so need to read this😁😃🤗💗👍🏻!
Unfortunately we don't have Filofax, Bullet Journal or Leuchtturm 1917 in Brazil :(
You have cool stuff there.
+Talita Alves Gardin That's unfortunate that you don't have Filofax of Leuchtturm, but you can Bullet Journal in any notebook :)
Yes, I know, you teached me :)
I use a simple notebook to try keep my single mother life in order. (two kids, two jobs, six cats) in order. You are helping me a lot!
You could order one online. It may take some time to get there but it's one way!
+Talita Alves Gardin We also have 6 cats and they keep us busy😃
+Kimberly Howard Actually the kids make more mess than my cats. Hahahaha
I have spent the last couple of days watching bullet journal videos on youtube. Yours are by far the best I've found so far, and I can't thank you enough for having lovely hands and nails. I don't think some people realize how distracting unkempt hands can be in these types of videos.
Is this still an active CZcams Channel?
A totally unrelated to this amazing video but...is that an Apple Watch? I only ask because you must be the 3rd person I've seen today with that watch on CZcams...lol
WHO came from snapchat?😄🙌🏼
Could a 6th grader read GTD?
It would honestly kind of bore a 6th grader, but the language is (for the most part) relatively easy to grasp.
i don' thnk it's any more boring then youtube videos about bullet journals. If you liked this video, you'll enjoy reading GTD
+jordan fink I actually already read it, and I loved it. Videos about bullet journals really interest me.
Rina Patney awesome! nothing is boring if you care about the topic
The way you are structuring and organising your GTD System isn't quite correct.
Yay! This is so beyond helpful, Kara! Thank you for spreading your knowledge to the rest of us productivity junkies! (And I'm definitely picking up one of those Filofax notebooks) ❤️
