Creating productivity software requires adhering to key principles: no leaks to prevent information loss, attracting more than repelling features, all features must pass a 30-60-90 test, adding value without burdening users, and ensuring features align with the GTD methodology.
An example of improved productivity software is the Microsoft To-Do application, which links meeting notes to calendar entries. This seamless integration enhances usability and productivity by keeping relevant information easily accessible.
Join Eric Mack's work style survey to tackle work frustrations effectively. By focusing on user behavior and workflow improvement, participants gain valuable insights to refine their productivity approaches.
Encouraging innovative ideas, David Allen welcomes engagement with software developers to enhance productivity tools. Addressing concerns like preserving task lists and user permissions can revolutionize software efficiency.
Acknowledging the need for task list integrity and personalized task handling, a plea is made for software developers to prevent automatic deletion of tasks from lists, ensuring user trust and efficient task management.
Creator of the second-best productivity tool for GTD, Eric Mack is grounded in GTD and knowledge management. David Allen and John Forrister recently talked with Eric about his five principles of productivity software design, in the hope that it might inspire future designers to incorporate some of these principles into their applications.
Eric is also doing a survey on workstyles and key frustrations. We encourage the GTD community to take his survey. We did, and found it helpful to us in understanding how we work, what we can do to improve, and more.

For a limited time, Eric is offering GTD Connect members a complimentary call to early survey respondents to discuss his recommendations.
