GTD Cafe: The Return of Stephen Covey…GTDers Respond
November 5th, 2008 by thedailysaintPosted in GTD |
Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog
Today’s post is from Mike St. Pierre of The Daily Saint
Ok, Stephen Covey never left the building but you have to admit that David Allen has certainly been the favored son of the productivity world for the last 5-10 years. As with all new things, they make the old seem, well, old.
Stephen Covey, The Community, is a new social networking site that emphasizes connections with other 7 Habits fans and those who are trying to accomplish more with their lives. It has a slightly different feel from GTD Connect, which places more emphasis on the mechanics of productivity.
I really like this new approach offered by the folks behind SC, The Community. It’s worth joining, if for no other reason than its freeness and fantastic video content.

Took a quick look, it looks a very polished site. I must admit I had never heard of Mr Covey before.

Hi Caroline, Stephen Covey is the remarkable author of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. See this series of posts for more on that topic http://hdbizblog.com/blog/category/7-habits/

Nice to see Covey back in the game. I think though, that the two approaches and systems are vastly different. Covey is clearly an academic while David Allen embraces an every-day approach to his system. Both are great, but I have definitely found more value personally with the GTD system.
That having been said, both should be explored and used. Take the good out of both systems and implement them together!

Hi Troy, thanks for coming by. Your thought “Take the good out of both systems and implement them together!” is exactly the kind of thing we’re working on here. If you have any specific tips or tactics, we’d love to hear them.
