Eric,

The bottom line is that you've given me a way to incorporate my GTD process back into my email and calendar client - in a way that really follows the GTD process.

I actually did the research to find out if I could move to a Notes client personally so that I could use eProductivity to manage my personal GTD process as well. Sadly, that's not a option, as far as I can tell, and I don't want my personal life merged into my corporate email/etc.

How I use it - the weekly review coach is a major win. I love being able to use it to hold myself accountable for staying on top of the floods of inbound information that otherwise get out of control. My personal adaptation of GTD involves a mini-daily review - dealing with loose paper and email box clearing daily is the only way I can keep my head above water, and I'd love the option to be able to have a customizable version of the weekly review that I could use daily (so I didn't feel like I was skipping things by not completing the weekly version every day.)

It's provided a robust way to manage my contexts, projects, and actions. I had been trying to figure out how to adapt my previously working GTD process to Notes for a year and a half, and had been failing. Notes, by its

In fact, it's one of the two main reasons people buy eProductivity.

As the creator of eProductivity, I am always looking for stories from passionate users about how they have benefitted from eProductivity so that I can share them with others. So I reached out to Kiara and asked if she would be willing to share her story of eProductivity - to tell me how she uses it and what impact it had made personally/professionally? Most customers do share their story and my team and I read every one.

A few days later, Kiara wrote back...

It's provided a robust way to manage my contexts, projects, and actions. I had been trying to figure out how to adapt my previously working GTD process to Notes for a year and a half, and had been failing. Notes, by itself, just didn't have the depth of functionality needed to do that.

So, ultimately, your product has given me a way to get back to using a system that just flat out works for me. Using the tools you've provided, I don't have to try to manage the process in a spreadsheet or on paper or in a standalone product. Given how much of my work life is lived in email, an integrated system is key to succeeding.

Thank you for creating a product that gave me back the ability to work with GTD effectively!

Best,

Kiara, thank you for sharing your story. I'm glad that you find value in eProductivity and that it has given you a new appreciation for the power of Notes.

P.S. We get many requests from people that want to run eProductivity at home. That is easily done. You can install Notes on your home computer and use it as a POP3/SMTP client. (Sorry, Note IMAP does not work at this time). If you use the same Notes ID you do not need to purchase a separate license; your current key will work just fine.

One sentence from the book provides insight on how GTD helps people see IBM Notes differently:

"Thousands of users of popular enterprise desktop software such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes have rarely had good enough reason to utilize their 'Task' or 'To-Do' functions. But once they see how those features can be configured for GTD they discover and access a new power in this software."

-- David Allen, author and creator of the Getting Things Done® ('GTD®') methodology.

In the decade that i have been helping people implement GTD with Notes this has proven to be true over and over. Once people experience how just thinking about their tools differently changes the way they work they begin to seek out other ways to improve their performance.

I designed eProductivity for IBM Notes by starting with the core principles of GTD and finding ways to integrate them into the IBM Notes environment so that even someone unfamiliar with GTD can immediately benefit from the principles. Someone new to GTD or eProductivity may not understand why it works but they do get how it works for them.

eProductivity is the only GTD® Enabled application for IBM Lotus® software. It is also the only productivity software for IBM software that David Allen uses or recommends.

The IBM Notes Traveler Design and Development Team would like to know what you think about Traveler and they are asking people to take a few minutes to fill out a Traveler survey. It asks about specific tasks and how easily you can accomplish them using Traveler. Your responses will help the design team in their effort to continually enhance Traveler in future releases.

I'm delighted that IBM is soliciting end-user feedback and I strongly encourage you to complete this survey as your input will help influence IBM's direction with regard to mobile.

The survey takes just a few minutes to complete and includes a blank space for you to write in any special comments or requests you may have.

May I also encourage you to share this survey link with your many mobile users who currently use or plan to use the IBM traveler software. I want IBM to hear from you and make the software even better.

Many of you expressed an interest in attending a live meetup and several others generously offered the use of their company offices to host the meetup. At the same time, we heard from many users who said that they were very interested in such a meetup, but could not get the time away from work to travel or attend an event.

In response to this feedback, our current thinking is to explore the idea of doing one or more online events or webinars. This way, people can attend virtually and at their convenience.

For those cities where we had a larger interest and people willing to host an event, we will contact you directly to see what we can work out.

All further details will be posted to the blog.

Meanwhile, thanks for the response!

We recently sent out an invitation to our customers inviting them to join us in Boston for an in person eProductivity meetup with Eric Mack (the founder of eProductivity). These meetups are great ways for people to come together and share tips and best practices for getting things done with Lotus Notes and eProductivity.

In one of the responses, we heard back from a customer in China who has been hosting her own productivity meetups:

I am now also hosting Time management in-person meetup in Shenzhen (a city in south China near Hong Kong) regularly. The frequency is once every two months. In coming September, we will have our 7th meeting. We share tips and best practices on time management, GTD, email efficiency, meet efficiency etc. People attending have increased from 10 people of 1st meeting to more than 50 people of the 6th meeting. On the 4th meeting in March 2012, I delivered a presentation about my experience of using eProductivity. Here is a happy photo of the attendees.

Someday, we hope to return to Asia to meet the growing number of eProductivity users. For now, we are delighted to receive and share this story from Jun Zhou.

If YOU have a story about your experience getting things done with eProductivity, we'd like to hear from you. If you're willing to allow us to share it on our blog/web site, please include that in your email.

In the case of eProductivity or GTD meetups, these events are often initiated by end users. Some are private - hosted in house - but most are open to everyone. Eric Mack, our founder and the creator of eProductivity has participated in several eProductivity and GTD meetups around the country, including at IBM's annual Lotusphere conference in Orlando.

Are you in or near Boston?
We are considering arranging a meetup in Boston in early October and we'd like to know if you are interested and would attend. We are waiting for a host and will share the details once we know more.

Are you somewhere else in the world?
We'd love to hear from you; perhaps we can help facilitate getting Lotus Notes users together in your area.

Your Next Action is to let us know of your interest. Be sure to tell us if you will be in or near Boston in early October as that will be the first event.

Some years ago I was enrolled to an internal Management/Young Talent Course with IBM in The Netherlands. During this course a small bit of GTD was covered, which struck my interest.

During my daily work I am working as an Storage Specialist serving multiple customers. This can be a challenging and demanding job and I was overwhelmed by a flood of emails on a daily bases. I had 'developed' my own system with comprised a multitude of folders and sub folders, which worked but had no clear overview. I had keep track of everything in my head still.

Having heard about GTD, I bought the book and started reading to find out what I could learn and apply to my work. While reading the book, I downloaded the eProductivity template and had applied to my Lotus Notes Mail DB at work. I had an instant workflow for my email, clearing several hundreds of email from my inbox while now having the confidence that I would not forget about any of them. This had happened to me frequently in the past using my own system, cause everything had to be tracked in my mind. Something I was not always very good at. :)

eProductivity does a more than excellent job of allowing me to quickly categorize my email and attach actions to it. I work on a lot of projects and it is a challenge to not let everything get mixed up. eProductivity keeps everything clear and separated. Through my 'Today' start page it's clear what I need to do and when.

eProductivity is my number one major improvement in workflow and email management. It has given me substantial piece of mind knowing I have everything under control and I can forget about tracking everything in my head. eProductivity does what it promises and is well worth the investment and switch to a new way of working.

This is not just a handy tool for managers but any one who has a ton of emails coming in demanding proper attention. A most definite Must Have and a sure recommendation!

I do not see myself go back to another way of working. Period.

eProductivity allows me to have full control over my day to day activities. Ever since I started using eProductivity, I've never missed a due date and I am on top of all communications. I can easily maintain track of activities, from a single email response (using "Waiting for") to a complex projects, they are all taken care of!! This has really made a difference on my personal management system.

eProductivity allows me to have full control over my day to day activities. Ever since I started using eProductivity, I've never missed a due date and I am on top of all communications. I can easily maintain track of activities, from a single email response (using "Waiting for") to a complex projects, they are all taken care of!! This has really made a difference on my personal management system.

I have now been using eProductivity for almost 2.5 years and since I discovered the product accidentally, it has really changed my life. Not a day goes by that I do not use eProductivity in my daily work, it has now become completely integrated in the way I work. I usually receive between 200 and 300 emails a day and it was an impossible task keeping up with follow up, actions, projects. I had not found any products, let alone Lotus Notes products that helped productivity and trust me, I have tied dozens of tools and products all claiming to improve productivity.

The ease of use and integrated nature of eProductivity really saves hours a day in being able to easily link emails to projects and assign actions in context. The views make it very simple to then track all outstanding tasks in the context of the work and who I need to follow up with. I am also delighted with the support I get from the support team. On the occasions I have needed help, I have had great response. I would say this is such an undiscovered , wonderful product and with out doubt, saves me hours of wasted time that I otherwise would spend delving into folders, searching for emails and trying to figure across a dozen tools how to track and manage. All this happens simply with one product!! This really makes up for so many deficiencies that simple mail products like Lotus Notes or Outlook have. Well done team, I look forward to the continued development of the product.

Working with eProductivity for me has increased the right focus, handling and overview ojepüf my tasks and projects tremendously! A big advantage of the full integration with Lotus Notes is that I work within one platform and I don't need to go outside of my email system to process my to do's. I just love that! I'm using eProductivity now 2 years and it's integrated into my daily life. It's a must for me to have, to keep on top of all those things I have to do business wise but also privately.

Having such overview and knowing you have all of your work in a trusted system creates peace of mind. It personally helped me to show more responsibility and accountability. If it was for me everybody and every company should use eProductivity as it really shifts your mind set and can change company culture in a positive way.

On top of this all the eProductivity team does a fantastic job in supporting me. If I have a question or a more difficult query, they always respond within a day and their response is always helpful. I work in a Customer Care environment myself, so I know how important it is to support the customer along the way, so I appreciate their approach a lot!

Dear eProductivity team, dear Eric,

I would like to thank you for the work you are investing on eProductivity. It really helped to organize my life and work. I would like to share my experiences. As I am not a native english speaker, please forgive some mistakes in the text ;-))

The reason I started looking for a solution like eProductivity is the desire to be better organized. I am an outside sales engineer, serving a big territory and taking care of a good amount of bigger and smaller projects. I also have a good number of customers which all have their own individual needs. And I am travelling a lot. In addition to my job, I am a husband and will be a father very soon. I am also a friend to my buddies etc. As you see, I am in different roles, but all are blurring into one another.

Discovering David Allen's GTD, I was in need to find my tool to integrate his way of getting things done into my life. The most advanced solution I could find is eProductivity. Your software helped me to keep the overview over my job life and my private one without having to choose different solutions. It really improved my way of living. I hardly missed deadlines anymore, became more organized in projects and a more reliable person in all my different roles. This was recognized by my wife, friends and business partners.

I could go on writing an essay about me and your software. Instead, I would just like to recommend to try eProductivity if he/she is already using Lotus Notes. It will have a huge, positive impact without adding more efforts to your everyday life.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards

I've been using eProductivity for about 2 1/2 years now. My boss turned me on to GTD a couple of years before that, and I have tried over those years to implement GTD in various ways. The best way I have found that works for me is eProductivity. It integrates into my Lotus Notes client where I get all my work done. As emails and requests for service come in, I can quickly decide if I want to do it, delegated it, or defer it. Anything coming into the inbox can be quickly dragged into a next action (which can be then easily linked into a project), filed into a folder for reference, or forwarded to a responsible party for follow-up. After sending the email, there's an option to automatically create a "waiting for" action so someone ELSE doesn't drop the ball and come back to haunt me. I seldom leave the office with anything else but an empty inbox anymore and it's a very freeing feeling!

One of my favorite features of eProductivity is the Weekly Review Coach. It enables me to efficiently flow through all the different stages of the weekly review to- prompting and enabling me at each step to clear my head and get all my ideas and nagging concerns into my trusted system.

eProductivity has helped me tremendously in my personal life, my business, my education, and in my ministry. So many of us wear so many hats nowadays, and it's hard to keep all of the balls we're juggling up in the air. eProductivity is my GTD trusted system that allows me to have a relaxed disposition and be focused where I am when I'm there, knowing I have everything I need to do in there and not in my head. Thanks, eProductivity!
