▍可能你们已经对David
Allen有所了解，他是在去年TNW峰会的特邀演讲者。他的生产力方法论“搞定™”刚出版就在全世界都悬起大波，这股热潮还没有散去的迹象。为什么？因为搞定™真的有用。实际上，关于“如何让达到处理信息和在现实世界中计划行动”的研究支持了搞定™的理论。
10年前我花了6个星期仔细研究学习了搞定™理论。直到现在都在受益，无论是在生活中还是职场上。你需要花一些时间来学习这个理论来真正的理解它的概念，但是我向你保证，绝对值得。
GTD®搞定™的美在于你即可使用笔和纸或者电子化管理系统来管理自己的工作和生活。随着科技的发展，现在已经有数百个GTD®APP和插件供你使用。
我最近有了个机会和David洽谈并且询问他在他眼里生产力的变化有哪些– 从纸和笔到软件– 以及现代有科技头脑的工作人员该知道些什么。
那么David认为生产力会带我们走向何处呢？
我们采访中一个关键的收获是， 如果你还在用想的方法来做事，那么你就错了。David的理论是你不必依靠自己的记忆来提醒自己该做什么。一切都该事先整理好，在你需要的时候就能用了。
他的问题是，如果你没有做备忘录，那么你头脑中会有很多事，于是你会很有压力。他的方法是什么？在对的时候找到对的信息来支持你在某种情况下做决定
理想情况下，这将是全息图“座舱”的形式，当你需要的时候，它会提醒你某些信息（比如你的孩子晚上在家庭聚餐之前在学校里遇到的问题）。
我们还没到这种地步，但是我很期待遇见将来的机器人统治者。
David在人类如何做记录以及学习AI和机械如何帮助我们更快的做记录方面有很多有趣和有内涵的想法。以下是完整视频：

▍Some of you may already be familiar with
David Allen – he was a featured speaker at the
TNW conference last year. His productivity methodology, ‘Getting Things Done’, took
the world by storm when it was first published, and that fervor doesn’t seem to
be disappearing any time soon. Why? GTD® works. In fact, studiessupport the GTD® method as a practical implementation of “how the brain
processes information and plans actions in the real world”.
10 years ago I spent about 6 weeks
intensively learning the method. It still continues to pay dividends, both
personally and professionally. You need to spend some time working on it to truly
understand the deeper concepts of GTD®, but I promise that it’s worth it.
The beauty of GTD® is that you can make it
work with anything from a pen and paper to a modern task management system in
the cloud. And with the burgeoning startup scene and increasing ease of app
development, there are hundreds of GTD® apps and plugins you can use.
I had the opportunity to catch up with
David recently and ask him about the changes he’s seen in the productivity
space – from paper and pen to AI – and what today’s tech minded knowledge
workers need to know.
So where does David think productivity is
heading?
A key takeaway from our interview is that
if you even have to think about your project, you’re doing something
wrong. His theory is that you shouldn’t have to rely on your memory to remind
yourself of tasks. It should all be organized and available, exactly when you
need it.
His issue is that If you haven’t noted
something down, then it’ll be niggling at the back of your mind, causing
stress. His solution? Somehow get the right information in front of you
at the right time to support your decision making within certain
contexts.
Ideally this would be in the form of a
hologram ‘cockpit’ that reminds you of certain information when you need it
(e.g. an issue your kid was having at school just before family dinner that
night).
We’re not there yet. But I for one look
forward to meeting our robot overlords.
David is full of interesting and insightful
thoughts about how humans tick, and how AI and machine learning will help us
tick faster.
