New Paper-Based System for GTD

Posted on November 15, 2008 by Bruce Keener

For those who prefer to use paper planners to implement Getting Things Done, the David Allen Company is now providing some specially designed planners for you. The planners are available in a junior size and an executive size (for 8.5 x 11 inch paper).

I personally use 3×5 cards, my iPod Touch, and a few Moleskine notebooks (the latter for big projects). However, I do remember how well paper systems worked for me when I used them. Many people much prefer them over the “more modern” methods.

If you are currently using the GTD Paper Coordinator, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, as would other readers. So please add your thoughts in the comments.

    Hi Bruce,
    I listened to a few of your tunes, and even though the style is “not my cup of tea”, I must say that your technical ability is outstanding. Your music is definately “art” in all context. Don’t ever stop.

    Hi David,
    Thank you very much. I’ll record a few more tunes soon.
    Thanks again.

    Very neat to see a comeback of the paper planner. Reminds me of Franklin Covey!

    I am more of a digital person as well, but I work with many people who are not. The key for me is to let people do what makes sense on a personal front and then unify it together when you start working together on projects.

    Basecamp is a great tool for that. I am a former user of BC and remember that when I first discovered it I was impressed.
