This month, I’m on a mission to help my fellow project management professionals apply what we preach: think strategically, plan effectively, and deliver on our promises. 🎯 As part of this effort, I’ve shared strategies I’ve refined over the past 15 years in my latest Newsletter and launched a series of 10 short videos called Big Ideas for 2025 in Project Management. These ideas are shaping how I envision the future of our field. In today’s post, I’m diving into how I plan my week using the GTD (Getting Things Done) method by the brilliant David Allen. Why GTD? It’s simple yet powerful: capture everything. 📝 Whenever a task, idea, or to-do crosses my mind, I jot it down in a productivity app. Later, I organize these items into projects and contexts for execution—ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. This method is invaluable as we approach a new year, helping us start fresh with clarity and control. Whether you’re a project manager or just looking to bring structure to a busy life, GTD is a game-changer. Check out the 15-minute video below or watch the full version on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/lSUh4OmRgAI Stay tuned for Big Idea #2 for 2025—coming soon! Let’s start 2024 with clarity, purpose, and a plan. I hope you find this helpful! ❤️ PS - these captions were generated automatically by Instagram, not me :) Have a great day, Ricardo #Productivity #GTD #GettingThingsDone #ProjectManagement #NewYearPlanning #OrganizedLife #WorkSmarter #BigIdeas2025 #LinkedInTips
