This is even better now with the new Tasks board view in Calendar. Nice!
I love it! I was searching for some practical idea to use GTD with simple digital tools ❤
Thank you very much for that very complete and didactic video, which was exactly what I was searching for. I will definitely follow your channel, all the more than I am a HCW who has lived on Reunion Island and came several times to South Africa.
This was simple and practical - very good and looking forward to your time-blocking tutorial!
Super easy. Thank you for showing us how to do this! For work, we use Todoist, but I'll be using Google Calendar for my own GTD. Thank you for showing me how to use this program effectively. The more I use Google products, the more I like them.
Thank you!! I really appreciate the way you broke that down
This is a very effective and intuitive methodolgy. Thank you for sharing.
Very helpful. While listening and learning from you I updated my Google Calendar and Tasks to follow this method. Thank you!
Amazing! Let me know how it goes!
Me too! super awesome and I plan to share with others - thank you so much
Thank you for sharing such a powerful method. Very helpful!
Thank you for this video. I'm giving it a try! It was also a great refresher of the GTD method since it's been awhile since I read the book. The only thing that bugs me is that the google task duration cannot be edited. Everything just shows as 30 mins, even though my tasks are longer! Anyway, maybe I'll just block out the extra chunk manually to show a proper duration. Awesome job!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much!? Exactly what i was looking for ❤
This is what I looked for. Thank you 🙃
Thank you for this video! This has been very helpful for me, I will be using the task list and the ideas that you have presented. I’ll also be checking out your video on time blocking and looking to see what other great ideas you have for time management/scheduling and tasks.
Loved this Video! Thank You, it was very engaging, and you are an excellent teacher! : )
Thank you for your kind words.
I loved it! Thanks for sharing @Private Practice Growth Club!
20:35 you can actually do subtasks that can be checked, under write blog post instead of writing them on the description with a hyphen
Yes you can! I have been using sub tasks alot more lately. I use it for tasks that require multiple steps that don't necessarily need to or can happen on the same date. The description box is great for links too.
@@PrivatePracticeGrowthClub We can use due date for each subtask if we edit subtask alone.
great insights, especially by integrating this classic system GTD.
Thank you. Glad you found it insightful.
Great video on GTD and tasks - thank you!!!
WELL DONE
I like the "Brain Dump" idea for building your list. Thank you. :)
Braindumps or idea tanks are so important for conserving your brains energy because you don't have to hold the information and can therefore use your working memory on executing tasks .
Thank you. It's helpful
like this approach. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing! It's really helpful. Thank you very much.
Great breakdown thanks!
You are most welcome.
Very helpful thanks!
Good Information. Thanks
Thak you I love it!!!
great thank you, only remaining thing would be to able to link tasks directly to our overall strategy
This system is great as a small solopreneur to manage your personal tasks. It's not really suitable for a workflow and business management system though. For my own practice I tried all types like Asana, Trello, clickup, and have finally landed on SmartSuite. I will be making some tutorials in SS in 2024 showing behind the scenes how I use it, how you can use it with a team and how to use it to link tasks to your overall strategy. So do look out for that 😁
New to your Channel@@PrivatePracticeGrowthClub and I must say Bravo and tysm! Hoping to find SS Video and others in your Channel related to organizing methods.
Thank you! It helped me a lot 💕
presented well
Did you make the video on Task Blocking yet (mentioned at the end of this)?
Not yet. It's on my brain dump list, not yet scheduled for recording 😬
@@PrivatePracticeGrowthClub Also requesting this task blocking video since you explain everything so clearly and I always struggle task and project blocking. Thank you so so much!!!
Whay do use click up for and should we use it also
Great question. I actually no longer use clickup. I now use smartsuite. It's not a tool for everyone, but I do plan to make some videos on how I use it in my own practice with some free template setups you can use as well. For now I'd say keep it simple. Focus on getting your systems to work well then think about tools to help level up afterwards
How do you incorporate the gtd concept of contexts? There's no way in Google tasks to tag a task with the place, person, or tool you need for the task, such as @home, @office, @phone, @errands, etc
Hi there. Great question. There is no organised way to do this unfortunately. As I mentioned in the video, this is an adaptation of the GTD method by simply applying the principles of sorting tasks. I personally do not find contexts helpful for making me for efficient so I don't have a need for them. If you like this method of using Google Tasks and Calendar and want to incorporate contexts, there are 2 ways you could do this: 1) add the context in brackets next to the task title in n the description box, or 2)creat a task for each context in each list and then use sub-tasks to list your actual tasks under each context. Do you think this might work for you?
@@PrivatePracticeGrowthClub perhaps. I'm switching from a paid todoist account which had this functionally to free Google tasks which doesn't. It seems tasks is Google's only app that doesn't have search capability.
Unrelated but- I need suggestions on an EHR system for a wider spectrum practice- classes, workshops, one on one sessions, charting etc. If you have a recommendation, I am open to this. We currently use 2 different schedulers because one of them doesn't encompass all of the features we need.
Hi. Great question. Not sure I fully understand what you are looking for, but it sounds like you need a scheduler that can schedule various types of group and 1:1 sessions, but you also want to incorporate notes and client details in the same system? You mention using 2 schedulers to get all the features you need, could you perhaps share which 2 schedulers you use, and what features specifically are you looking then I might be able to make a more appropriate recommendation 🙂
Can we label the tasks in google task so that it appears in specific google calendar? How many levels of sub tasks we can add?
No. And one.
Hello can I use GTD Technique with Google Calendar please reply mam
Hi there, if you use Google Tasks together with Google Calendar the way I demonstrated in the video, then you are using the GTD method. I also plan to do a follow-up video on how to process your email with Google tasks using the GTD method. So do look out for that :)
Apparently she is speaking in English........
I take that back. How do you use Tasks with projects
Sorry to hear that, but thanks for commenting. My videos will not benefit everyone and that's okay. I hope you find what you are looking for on someone else's channel. All the best :)
You already know, there is no point of lurking here.. 😕
