Hi friends, welcome back. My guest today is the Grandfather of the Modern Productivity

Movement, David Allen, the creator of the best selling productivity book in history,

Getting Things Done. The opportunity to speak to him about productivity is kind of like getting

Floyd Mayweather to teach you how to jab. So get ready for today. Expect to learn David's five

step process for organizing your life, why your brain is a terrible library, what apps and systems

David uses to enhance his own life, where he sees the future of productivity going and much more.

enjoys every single day. In other news, I wanted to let you in on my plans for the development

of Modern Wisdom to the next level. I want to release a partner service to the podcast. Modern

to 700 words, no fluff, just all of the main takeaways curated nested within bullet points so that

you never forget a podcast ever again. You listen to me and Greg McEwen talking about essentialism

or me and David Allen talking about the art of stress free productivity, but in three months time,

you might not be able to remember what we said. However, you will have the best podcast notes

writers on the planet writing curated notes every single episode and you will have access to all

archived episode notes as well. I just think it's a really cool idea. I don't know any of the

podcasts that are doing it. I think it would add a ton of value. I know that even I forget the things

that I learn and I'm the one that's having a conversation with these people, right? Like I would
