Getting Things Done (GTD) is a geek-friendly task (and life) management methodology by David Allen. This slide was used in my presentation at Barcamp Bangkok 4 (2010)
Introducing GTD®
* “If my mind had a mind, I wouldn’t need
a system.” – David Allen
* GTD® is the popular shorthand for
Getting Things Done®
* “…a powerful method to manage
commitments, information, and
communication.”
The document discusses techniques for stress-free productivity. It introduces the concept of the "ready state" where the mind is clear and productive work gets done. It recommends capturing all commitments externally to free up mental space. The process involves managing actions by bringing clarity to next steps through a bottom-up approach of clearing mundane tasks. It also involves managing horizontal aspects like capturing, clarifying, organizing, reflecting on, and engaging with work. Regular review of tasks, projects and goals helps maintain focus and clarity.
GTD 101 provides an overview of the Getting Things Done (GTD) stress-free productivity system. It explains that GTD can help anyone who feels overwhelmed by transforming overwhelm and overload into stress-free productivity. The key principles of GTD are to capture anything that has your attention, define concrete next steps for tasks, and organize information and reminders in a streamlined system based on how and when you need access to them. Frequent reviews across different time horizons help alleviate feelings of being overwhelmed and instill confidence by keeping commitments on track.

Introduction to Getting Things Done (GTD) & Personal Productivity Ninja - The...Hrishikesh Jobanputra
We are living in an age of distraction. While we are allowing huge amounts of information and communication from the outer world, we are generating equally large volume of ideas and agreements from our inner world.
Amidst hundreds of things to do, we tend to loose perspective and often feel lack of control in our lives. Result, we constantly remain in the state of anxiety and stress.
Neither our standard education, nor traditional time-management models, nor the plethora of organizing tools has given us a viable means of meeting new demands placed on us.
The Personal Productivity Ninja is a course to develop remarkable level of clarity, focus and purpose to achieve Goals. It is possible for you to have an overwhelmingly number of things to do and still function productively with a clear head and a positive sense of relaxed control.

7 ridiculously simple productivity hacks that will blow your mindRemote Workmate
The document discusses several simple productivity hacks, including Eisenhower's matrix for prioritizing tasks by importance and urgency, focusing on the 20% of tasks that deliver 80% of results according to the 80/20 rule, creating routine calendars to break large tasks into small daily tasks, banning meetings one day a week, taking an after work nap to reset energy levels, designating one day a month to deep clean your desk, using a rubber band habit to develop new daily goals, and sharing productivity hacks with friends.
The document discusses the Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity method created by David Allen. It provides an overview of the key aspects of GTD including collecting all tasks and projects, processing and organizing them into actions with contexts and due dates, and regularly reviewing and completing the actions. The document also discusses how GTD aims to reduce stress and anxiety by helping users gain control over their commitments by translating "stuff" like tasks and projects into a clear list of next actions. It emphasizes emptying your mind of all obligations and maintaining items in an external trusted system for ongoing review and execution of actions.
1. Getting Things Done (GTD) is an action management method to organize tasks and commitments outside of one's mind. It helps deal with stress caused by having too many loose ends and distractions.
2. GTD uses horizontal and vertical organization. Horizontal control maintains coherence across activities, while vertical control manages individual projects and topics.
3. The key is to get everything out of the head and into a trusted system. This reduces stress from constant unfinished thoughts and allows one to focus on taking meaningful actions.
For many, it’s not a simple, seamless switch. It’s so much more than just creating a home office, developing a new schedule, keeping kids or pets occupied, and adopting new routines. It’s entirely changing and challenging the way we work, interact, collaborate, perform, and do business.
It’s reinforcing the need to ask the tough questions, like:
Do I have a great game plan for each day?
Do I start each morning with a clear understanding of my most important priorities?
How am I effectively managing my mindset and finding ways to raise my energy?
How do I know I am making daily progress in this new climate?
Most importantly, am I prioritizing and supporting my family?
The forced rise of remote work is an opportunity. It’s a chance to double down on human connection, serve and support your employees, show up for your clients and community, and prioritize your health and well-being. And it starts with you.
The document discusses principles of effective time management. It emphasizes managing oneself according to one's purpose and priorities rather than allowing others or external factors to dictate one's behavior and use of time. It introduces tools for time management, including using a clock to manage schedules and commitments and a compass to guide decisions according to one's values and vision. It advocates focusing on important but not necessarily urgent tasks in Quadrant II of a time management matrix to be more effective. The overall message is the importance of proactively organizing one's time around one's priorities and goals rather than reacting to urgent demands.

It then outlines a five-step approach leaders can take to address these problems by helping people focus on priorities, manage technology use, and avoid burnout.
Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”
Let's all go eat that frog!
I love Brian Tracy's use of quotes in the book, and have included many of them in the slideshow.
If you're looking to be more productive, stop procrastinating the important stuff (We can all use less procrastination, right?), start procrastinating more creatively (I like the sound of that!), and reach the goals you have yet to attain, I highly recommend utilizing this information!

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Switzerland
• Today Known as “80/20 Rule”
– 1940s: Dr. Joseph Juran proved “In nearly all
cases, a few (20 percent) are vital and many
(80 percent) are trivial.
– Universality: Can be Applied Equally to Any Endeavor
(Business, Academia, AND Career Center Goals!)
– 20% of Your Clients Create 80% Business
– 20% of Your Clients Place 80% of Orders
– 20% of Your Work Takes Up 80% of
Your Time!
17. Focus on the tasks and projects that
have the greatest (80%) impact.
Don’t sweat the SMALL stuff.
Remove all the items at the bottom
of your task list that will not get done.
Review your goals and the rewards
of doing tasks on time while making
any/all needed adjustments.

25. In our brains multi-tasking is managed by
“mental executive functions”.
Two stages to MEFs:
• Goal Shifting (decide to do one thing instead of
another); and
• Role Activation (changing from the rules for the
previous task to rules for the new task).
Multitasking
26. Switching between these can reduce
productivity by as much as 40%.

each side of the brain tackles a different task.
