GTD Masters: Interview with Matt from Matt’s Idea Blog

Master Series

This post is part of a series I’ve dubbed the GTD Master Series - a collection of short interviews with well-known GTD bloggers who many consider to be masters of their craft. Enjoy!

That’s right kids, it’s time for another dollop of wisdom from a GTD powerhouse. This time around, we’ll be learning from Matt Cornell of the famed Matt’s Idea Blog. I haven’t had a ton of contact with Matt, but his blog is a fantastic read for any and all GTDers looking for a good mix of theoretical and practical advice on being more productive. After all, he does this for a living, don’t you know?

Anyway, these interviews have proven (at least in my mind) to be terribly interesting and informative. Prepare to bask in the warm glow of yet another productivity ninja!

Today on GTD Masters, we’ll be chatting with Jason Echols, the second half of the productivity duo over at Black Belt Productivity. While I must confess that I haven’t spoken to Jason as much as I have to his partner-in-crime, he comes off as a very cool customer. Michael suggested him as a candidate for my little interview here, and he was nice enough to oblige. So sit back, relax and drink in the wisdom of another productivity ninja!

I first started shooting the breeze with Michael, half of the two-man productivity assault team at BlackBeltProductivity.net, after posting something about del.icio.us here at the CW blog. We’d chat here and there about different productivity tools, GTD webapps and the like, quickly realizing we have a bit in common. I consider Michael to be a friend - and now I’m proud to feature him on this installment of GTD Masters!

Weekend Homework: Questions for Merlin Mann

Merlin

Ever since I came up with the idea for the GTD Masters Series, I’d secretly hoped to get the chance to interview the great Merlin Mann of 43Folders.com. And as I was pretty certain he wouldn’t just volunteer his time, I thought I’d ask him - so I emailed him a couple days ago to pitch him the idea. Guess what happened next? He responded!

While he didn’t flat-out agree to do the interview, he did say he was willing to discuss it and that he wanted to see a list of the questions/topics I wanted to cover. He also asked that I try not to cover anything that he’s already discussed at length on 43f (like how he got started with GTD), which I completely understand. So, instead of giving him the “canned” list of questions I’ve been sending to the rest of my would-be GTD Masters participants, I’ve decided to ask you, my loyal readers, to help me come up with some questions to ask him.

Author of WhatsTheNextAction.com, one of the most popular GTD-related blogs on the web (and recently featured in an article on cnn.com about David Allen and GTD), Frank Meeuwsen recently hit the 2-year mark with GTD and his productivity chops are sharp as ever. His blog is one of the few I know of where the author shows the human side of GTD - his failures as well as his successes. I’ve had random email conversations with Frank off and on for the past few months, and he agreed to do this little interview for me:

In this installment of the GTD Master Series, we’ll be hearing from Glen from LifeDev.net. I’m sure most of you are no stranger to his work (and have probably subscribed to his feed since you started with GTD). I’ve recently been chatting with Glen about this and that and he’s a super cool guy. And he’s been gracious enough to answer some of my questions, so without further ado…
