This is revamped and expanded version of the personal task management/GTD presentation I gave at the Administrative Professionals Day Conference, reworked for TTC’s Information Technology Divisional Planning Day event (6/8/2011). So I got to geek it up a bit, and I spent quite a bit of time polishing and streamlining. Unfortunately, that’s made it a bit longer. But I think it has also made it a bit better.
If this sort of thing is of interest to you, grab a copy of Allen’s book: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.

This presentation was created in Keynote ’09, which is part of the iWork ’09 suite. I’m hosting it via iWork.com. This was really my first serious work using either. And, so far, I’ve been very pleased.
