Ep: 14 - Managing Multiple Roles Using GTD
When you listen to this interview with Jeff Heilman, you'll be
amazed how much he does. He's got a thriving sales career, plus
he's a pro golfer. And a husband, and a father, and much more. Jeff
says he always dreamed of becoming the guy who has his act
together, and GTD is the pathway. In this interview, he talks with
Mike Williams about how he heard about GTD, and his subsequent
installation and implementation journey. Somewhere along the way,
he says he was able to take on more work than his boss could give
him. Now that's saying a lot. But beyond work, Jeff says that "GTD
leads to the freedom to pursue what I choose."
