If you use Lotus Notes and the GTD methodology, you’ll be pleased to
know that the long awaited GTD and Lotus Notes implementation guide is
now available. My colleague, Kelly Forrister, and her team worked hard
to assemble a valuable collection of tips and tricks for using the
Lotus Notes Calendar, Email, Personal Journal, and To Do’s more
effectively.
David Allen and I began using Lotus Notes long before The David Allen
Company first opened its doors. Over the years, I’ve not only learned
for myself what works and what does not, I’ve had the privilege to
watch other highly productive people use Lotus Notes effectively. I
think Kelly’s done a great job of collecting some this wisdom in one
place.
In the 1990′s, I started to
collect the things that I learned about using Lotus Notes and the GTD
methodology and built them into the eProductivity Template for Lotus Notes.
The trouble is that I’ve used this template for so long that I often
forget that it can be quite a challenge to implement GTD within a
vanilla Notes framework. (BTW, the same holds true for Outlook. These
products seem to be designed more for features than results, often
including many features that are simply unnecessary and confusing and
omitting others altogether. As much as I like Lotus Notes, some aspects
are not well suited for GTD, at least not without tweaking.) That’s why
I’m excited to see this document become available.
In my eProductivity consulting and seminars,
one of the first things I do is show Notes users how to change several
of the standard Notes settings and change the way they think about
Lotus Notes. The GTD and Lotus Notes implementation guide will help you
through that process and more – it will explain the essential elements
of the GTD methodology in the context of Lotus Notes.
If
you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know that I think
that Lotus Notes is a powerful tool and a key part of the productivity equation.
This guide covers both parts. At $10, I think it is an excellent value,
particularly for the person that wants to implement GTD in Lotus Notes
but, for IT reasons, is unable or not allowed to install a custom
template.
I plan to recommend the GTD and Lotus Notes
implementation guide to my eProductivity clients – even those that use
the eProductivity Template to make their weekly review easier. I think
that a single concept from this guide, properly implemented, will more
than justify the small purchase price.
You can download the GTD and Lotus Notes implementation guide here.
[UPDATE: If you're enrolled in the GTD Connect program, the GTD and
Lotus Notes document is available as a free download on the GTD Connect web site. What a deal. For my $.02 on GTD Connect, click here.]
