Life Hackery Getting Things Done with Room for More
Life Hackery • Productivity Tips, Tricks and Systems that keep
you focused on creating great stuff, what ever that may be.
GTD • Getting Things Done by David Allen
GTD Systems • Things • OmniFocus • Google for: GTD
GTD Basics • Projects • Contexts • Items • Actions
Things • Simple To-Do List • Filter your focus •
Organize into Projects • Areas are Contexts
Inbox Zero • A vow to not spend more time
on any given email then it deserves.
Email is Evil • Robs you of your attention •
Derails your focus • Everything is Urgent • You’re paying mental debt, with interest, for every unprocessed email in your inbox
My Verbs • Delete (or archive) • Delegate • Reply
• Process
Delete • You really don’t need it. • Act on
it, or get rid of it. • If you really do need it, archive it. But don’t go crazy...
Delegate • If someone else can service them better, let
them. • Give yourself a reminder to follow up to make sure the email got taken care of.
Reply • Don’t write a novel when a haiku will
do. • Get good at quick replies, and process emails faster than ever.
Process • Does this email require me to do something
now? • If it takes less than an hour to process, then Just Do It. • If it will take longer, capture in your GTD system, and move on.
Getting Started • Set up an Email DMZ • Quarantine
your time • Schedule an Email Dash, once an hour. • Stay at zero by the end of each day.

... with room for more • If life has given
you a full plate, then get a bigger plate.
Thank you! • Eric Marden • http://xentek.net/ • http://twitter.com/xentek
Special Thanks • Special Thanks to all the folks I
ripped off for the topic of this talk, including Merlin Mann, David Allen, and Life Hacker. • This talk was driven from my experience implementing these powerful techniques.
