You're a great teacher, Morgan! On project management: in addition to what you explained, is the need to embed a recurring cycle of "observe-analyze-plan-act" which helps to make correctioins or to re-prioritize because circumstances may have changed, or the results differ from expected.
Really helpful vid as always. I love how you connect the dry GTD models to working and beneficial steps in Obsidian. Also, thank you for sharing your Projects Template, much appreciated!
This is great, just finished GTD and also use Obsidian. This is such great niche and quality content. Perhaps you can consider having a donate button since I am not interested in Shortform but would love to contribute.
Ohhhh my goodness. I felt so called out at the end! Thank you for making these! I have honestly had a hard time just getting through that book, and this really helped me understand some key points.
I honestly didn't read it tooo deeply, skimmed a lot of stuff that wasn't relevant to me (because I'm not a business person in a shared office and a lot of it is directed at those people). And the project planning stuff was all just in one early chapter, but I was like, woah! This is so helpful! I could've read a whole book just dedicated to that! Hopefully my video on GTD proper will be out later this month or next.
Different people have different capacities for self-organization. This will certainly help people to understand at least one reasonable way to organize projects. Thanks for making the video.
This was so useful! Thanks for making this video. It was one of your videos that first introduced me to Obsidian and as a serial procrastinator I am inspired to implement this system. I appreciate your shared learnings!
Wow, didn't expect the video to be THIS helpful! I always get anxious when thinking about projects I have to do even if I would potentially enjoy doing them. This model really seems to significantly decrease anxiety by bringing a lot of clarity and almost a step-by-step plan for every task. And that's amazing! I've already implemented your template (thanks, by the way) in my Notion, and it seems to work perfectly, so if someone's a bit worried about not using particularly Obsidian, - you need not. I think you can use this system even in your Notes app, even tho it won't be very convenient. So, yeah... Sorry for such lengthy comment. I'm just really happy and thankful to you for bringing my attention to this amazing planning method. I may even read the book!
Thanks for commenting! This is good to know, I'm glad it's working for you! I don't know that I'd recommend the book to read, honestly. If you read a lot or want to get to the source, then absolutely read it. Buuuut, if you just want the ideas, there's lots of summaries on TH-cam and elsewhere, so you could save the time. The book could've been shorter, there were a lot of examples and some repetition :P
Great Job and just on time! I have been struggling with getting things done as of late. I figured out is problem is two fold. The 1st part perfectionism, 2nd parts not knowing where to start. Progress over perfection has helping me when it comes to my perfectionism and this video is helping me with the second part! Thank you for the template as well! Keep on keeping on!!
Those are my problems, too. And actually starting this TH-cam channel really helped me with the perfectionism because I just keep putting videos out and moving on. Gets me practice starting and finishing small projects, too!
You start where ever you have clarity for the "Next Action"... if the process/checklist isn't clear - as David & Morgan say - take the next "BIG HAIRY ARSE step" and make it small, the smaller the better - you might end up with 50 small items to do - but that becomes the repartition and the habit for not just this project but all similar ones {James Clear and Atomic habits and Atomic notes help too)... So reinforcing the "completed" folder within the Obsidian vault, take a step back once done - what can be learnt and what can be generalised... often this becomes a bigger and better template and or checklist [that other folder, "checklists", that can be used to be built into templates]. And Nicole is great too.
Brainstorming just never made sense to me. Still doesn't lol. My mind only conceptualizes one or two ideas, but I do actually stick to them for a considerable amount of time.
Ah, I should look into that. I haven't really tried many community plugins, but I do think I should start! And I've tried a kanban style of working before and it helped me in some ways. So, I'll check out the plugin
So - "a" file for the project, and given much of yours are scripts/academic - you have references/bibliographies that are reusable, as might be some of the content build up - as say in this vid, some paragraphs might be useful on other Obsidian or GTD vids. So how can you offer "atomic" note methods - as you seem to elsewhere, versus a template with the bits included "above" and then one sweep of content "below"... Mind, in part size can be everything... Also, with older stuff having set the folder structure principle, the Project - old/completed folder really needs to be Projects-yyyy, as they should really fill "fast" GTD - being as old as it is originally, David's "context" was a major arm of the method - and I am not so sure if the 2015 update/2nd edition fully recognizes the power of smartphones - still, nor Siri/AI helpers, etc., nor writing software like Obsidian. So I know nobody even with their home base being say Evernote - that still operates with the 2001 version of 43 paper folders replicated into their PC/Smartphones, etc. Anyway... interesting to watch the development of ideas, uses, tools and the flow of work. All the best for the New Year!!!!
Hello. Thank you for the motivation, I uploaded a video with no sound, but it is my way to start doing content. I will talk about Sound of Freedom and how the local authorities are involved. I see them walking down the streets spending money. Well, that's normal in banana republics.
1y too late but anyway. David Allen, is he still alive?? Concur with other comments, this host has a great presentation style/ voice. Not sure the pin board covered in post-it notes is a selling point... Also, procrastination has NOTHING to do with planning.

wonderful content
Thanks!❤
Thanks for watching! 😊
"Productivity tube" 🤣
Excellent, helpful, articulate, and well crafted! Thank you!
As a fan of gtd and obsidian this was brilliant to see, thank you
Thanks for this, very helpful. Plus, kudos for the editing, jump cuts etc. subtle & stylish
Ah, thank you. I try to improve a tiny bit with every video I make!
Thank you, Morgan! The video really helps a lot!
Great. Video it has been on my watch later for a while. haha.
Thanks for this video, I just did this for one of my upcoming projects and I feel so much clarity now 🎉.
That's awesome! Watch out for a video next week on the actual getting things done system and how I use it! 😀
Vers usefull tuto.Thanksss lot of
Awesome!
Thank you very much, Morgan.
Thanks! This gave me a tool to more effectively fight procrastination.
This is great, just finished GTD and also use Obsidian. This is such great niche and quality content. Perhaps you can consider having a donate button since I am not interested in Shortform but would love to contribute.
Ah, good idea. I'll make that a 2023 goal to set something like that up! Thank you! 😊

Yeah, this got me super excited about using GTD again... looking to see if that vid is out yet😂
I took some time off for the holidays! But hopefully late January or early February! :P
thank u
That's a great video and a really good idea, thank you.
I like your videos. They are really helpful. Thank you.

I hope it works out, and if it doesn't, I hope you find something that works for YOU!

@@morganeua Oh, okay! That's good to know. Then, I guess, I'll just stick to the method you presented, if there's not much else to it. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks! I have to do an experiment for the last chapter of my PhD
very good job..... from Egypt

Epic video thx you !
Who else is procrastinating right meow by watching this, raise your hand 🙃
Lol, is it me? It's me. Procrastinating by making the video 😂
@@morganeua It's productive and useful, I'm afraid I can't let it count as procrastination, sorry 😋
Brainstorming just never made sense to me. Still doesn't lol. My mind only conceptualizes one or two ideas, but I do actually stick to them for a considerable amount of time.
Thanks. This was great. Perhaps you could get a new keyboard that makes even more noise when you type. 😄 Have a good holiday.
Maybe I'll get one for Christmas 😂
@@morganeua Take care 🌹
Sidenote: Have you tried the Kanban community plug in I love it for keeping track of things! ( Sense you have a complete folder)
Ah, I should look into that. I haven't really tried many community plugins, but I do think I should start! And I've tried a kanban style of working before and it helped me in some ways. So, I'll check out the plugin

David Allen, is he still alive??
Concur with other comments, this host has a great presentation style/ voice.
Not sure the pin board covered in post-it notes is a selling point...
Also, procrastination has NOTHING to do with planning.
You don’t have the organisation step in your obsidian 😂😅
"maybe right now..."
yes, you're absolutely right 🥲
😅
