Link of the Day: Test Your GTD-Q

If you’re into the whole Getting Things Done philosophy, then you might want to take a moment to test your “GTD-Q,” using a simple online test that was developed by the David Allen Company.

Even if you’ve never heard of the whole GTD thing, let alone incorporated it into your life and work, you might find the results illuminating. The test is designed to measure your perspective and control – “the two critical elements of self management” – at any given time.

“The challenge,” I was told when I took the test myself today, “is that your ideas, projects, and commitments may be outstripping your ability to keep up with them.” Sadly, that sounds about right, at least at the moment. But the test does suggest a few ways to establish more control, and the suggestions are geared toward GTD newbies and devotees alike. Try it out and see where you stand.
