Our Five Steps to GSD (Getting Sh*t Done!)

As you can see, we Love David Allen & Getting Things Done.  We thought to create our own little version called Getting Sh*t done!  It provides a guideline for how we get things done at FollowThePrince.com

Listen

Listening is the foundation of any relationship.  Unless you completely understand what is being expressed, there is no possible way to proceed to the next step of processing.  Write it down, type it up, or EverNote it!

Process

After listening, this is where you really think about what you just heard or observed.  This allows you to form a strategy or system based on the content, form, or idea.  Mind Maps would be an optimal choice for geting that idea sparked.

Engage

This is where you set up the foundation of the preparation, but actually creating actions around getting sh*t done.  These are specific things that actually create the system, so when you are doing it, there is not much more cause everything is being collected that you missed.  Use that elbow grease.

Do

This is where you are actually solving the issues at hand.  While you are actually doing things and getting them done, new things will happen.  Make sure to keep collecting these, so that you can refer back to step 1.

Review

Finally you must make this a ritual weekly, monthly, and yearly event.  We suggest weekly, but do what you feel comfortable with.

You can use these steps to accomplish the following:

  • Create a proposal
  • Create a marketing strategy
  • Organize your business
  • Anything!

Here is clear vision of our Getting Things Done method that @MarcStreet developed.
