Being a really big fan of GTD (Getting Things Done) by David Allen I naturally want my kids to get into it as well.  After all, why shouldn’t I help them have a great start in life (I wasted so many years in my muddle, they might as well learn from my mistakes!).

The Problem

As we use Lotus Notes at work I use the amazing eproductivity by Eric Mack as my GTD tool.  It simply works and allows me to keep my head empty, not be captured by the urgent and really get into the important.

But we don’t have Notes at home and I’m not really in a position to buy it etc.  My kids do, however have laptops so I went searching for a good, free application for them.  (Yes I know that GTD is not reliant on a computer program but they enjoy their computers so much I figured that they’re more likely to “click” if we went down that route.)

What I Came Up With

I downloaded Thinking Rock and have installed it on James’ laptop.  He’s sitting beside me now doing a mind dump into it.

Explaining GTD to Kids

My kids are older (12, 18 & 20) so I don’t want to dumb things down.  But I do want to keep it really interesting.  So here’s how you can help me…

How do you get your kids to buy into GTD and how do you make it really interesting for them?

Thanks for your feedback on this most important subject.
