I just received a note from a business acquaintance that he'd just finished reading "Time Bandits", an article in
American Airlines' in-flight magazine about David Allen's Getting Things Done
productivity system. He told me it made the article even more enjoyable because he knew a certain blogger who was
quoted throughout the piece. Chris Tucker, the author, interviewed me months ago. Frankly, I had all but forgotten
about our chat until I got the e-mail this evening.
It's a fine article (no, not just because I'm in it).
Tucker does a terrific job documenting how GTD has impacted individuals and companies large and small. My blogging
buddy Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, is also
quoted in the article.
It's been quite a month (and it's barely half over).
Time Bandits: a great GTD article in American Way

(Page 1)2. Thanks Nitin. It's certainly one of the best pieces I've seen in a mainstream pub about GTD. James Fallows' piece in The Atlantic Monthly last year was the best ever but this does a fine job, as you say, of explaining the "affliction".

1. Marc -
Congratulations on the interview! I just read it, and have to agree that the article does a wonderful job in explaining our shared GTD affliction to the rest of the world.
I love Michael Hyatt's quote in the piece as well.
