Getting Things Done (GTD) for Scientists - MacResearch When I was in Australia on holiday last year, I started thinking about ways of getting the enormous influx of information and tasks in my life into some sort of structure. I had read on blogs from the US about the ‘Getting Things Done’ (GTD) approach of Dave Allen, but hadn’t come across it much in my daily life living in Europe. Even in Australia, which could almost be considered a state of America these days, I got blank looks when asking at Borders for the book on ‘Getting Things Done’. I did eventually find a copy, and started reading. Now, it’s important to realize that people outside the US are often skeptical of the latest new wave fad coming from that country, and I’m no different. That was around 6 months ago. The thing to realize is that most people don’t get lessons in organizing themselves at school or college, and they certainly haven’t been prepared for the rapid pace of modern life. To implement the GTD system, you’ll need some software.
