about maxamind

David Allen’s book Getting Things Done has been read by millions of people over more than a decade, but mastering GTD® can be a bit daunting without an intelligent tool to guide you. We’ve built the process in, so the maxamind mobile app makes it easy to implement the five key strategies of GTD® - Collect, Process, Organize, Review, and Do.

The first, key step of the GTD® process is collecting all of your thoughts, reminders, tasks and goals into a single, trusted repository that is always with you. Because you have one place to keep, process and track it all, you don’t have to stress about “Have I checked everything?” or “Do I have everything covered?”.

Equally important though is the ability to follow through - to retrieve and process those thoughts when you are able to act on them. The maxamind app starts by making it easy to process and organize while you’re collecting your input – three steps ahead. So you can put them out of your mind and be confident that you will remember them when you are prepared to act.

Many people find it hard to keep up with GTD, especially the Project Review- Process-Organize cycle. The maxamind mobile app provides a simple, flexible structure to get you organized and keep you on track.

To paraphrase from David Allen:

• You can’t do everything right when you think of it.
• You can’t do everything at once.
• Trying to keep everything in your head causes stress.
• Not knowing what you are not getting done causes stress
• Writing notes on scraps of paper still causes stress - especally when you loose them!
• Sticking things on the calendar and then not getting to them causes stress.
