Marketing podcast with David Allen (click to listen, right click and Save As to download) David Allen , author of the wildly popular book Getting Things Done, and the almost cult-like evangelized GTD system, is my guest for this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing podcast.I think David's pretty brilliant, although you would probably never get him to admit it - his brilliance comes, in my opinion, from his consistent message that time can't be managed, it just is. Everyone tries to do this and that to time manage when GTD suggests all that you can do is decide what's important and make it easy to do that, without having the stress of trying to keep it all in your head.

The GTD system has taken form in all manner of software, planning tools and templates, but the beauty of it is that it's so simple all you really need is a pen, paper and some folders.

What you will find from the list is that while you may have heard of some of these companies they don't often show up on anyone's super cool list. It's mostly basic parts and services done executed brilliantly. Oh, and luck didn't seem to have much to do with success.
