The Natural Planning Model (chapter 3 in the GTD-book) is an amazing model to think through your projects and it’s probably one of the most underused elements of GTD! So be sure to listen to this episode, we can almost promise you that you’ll want to start using this on more of your projects (in case you aren’t using it already). We’ll cover all 5 steps of the model, all the way from Purpose and down to the very next actions. The model is useful on so many levels, from gaining clarify in your own personal complex/creative/important to aligning teams to make sure that you are all heading towards the same goal. Be sure to try it out and let us know how it goes? ([email protected]) And we’ll also share a few tips and tricks based on our software picks for this episode. And the software picks for this episode are: * Evernote (https://evernote.com/) for all your note-taking needs, e.g. as an archiving tool * MindNode (https://mindnode.com) for mindmapping on MacOS/iOS, e.g. when brainstorming as part of the Natural Planning Model! As always, if you have any general feedback we'd love to hear from you via [email protected], you can learn more about GTD in the Nordics at GTDnordic.com and find cool GTD gear at GTDshop.com.
