From Paper to Productivity: The Evolution of Task Management

Marcus Ramtohul is a musician, actor, model, husband, father, and . . . a GTD trainer! You'll hear him describe his move from a paper-based system to digital, as his life and responsibilities grew more complex in the last ten years. His creativity and humor shine through as he describes encouraging family and colleagues to adopt any of the GTD best practices. He talks about the subtlety of correctly defining next actions, assigning contexts, his customized contexts, and much more.

You can find out more about Marcus, including his band and TV show, on his website.

His band Andy and the Odd Socks have just released BBC Children In Need's first ever Christmas charity single - a cover of "Merry Christmas Everyone" by Shakin' Stevens. And Shaky himself even features in the music video! You can buy the song here. A minimum of 40p from every download goes directly to the Children In Need charity and the money raised can help improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people around the UK.

If you are in the UK you can watch the Andy and the Band Christmas special on BBC iPlayer and on CBBC on Christmas Day.

You can watch a video version of this conversation from December 2021 at GTD Connect®.
