Over the past couple of years, I’ve become more and more interested in David Allen’s Getting Things Done. One of the concepts that drive the GTD system is processing the stuff you collect. That is, discerning what each item (email, meeting note, junk mail, or whatever else has your attention) actually is — and deciding what to do about it, if anything.
To that end, I’ve created a couple of images to use as computer desktop “wallpaper”. I’ve included an empty space to put all your folders and files so you can actually see the rest of it.
There are two versions — one more corporate, one a little funkier. Feel free to grab the one you want, or both.
Feel free to share them or link to them, but please don’t publish or alter them without my permission — and David Allen’s!

[...] FreeAssociates haben Ablaufdiagramme zu GTD entworfen, die so dekorativ sind, dass Sie sie auch als Bildschirmhintergrund verwenden können. Die Diagramme gibt es mit zweierlei Schrifttypen, ganz nach Geschmack. [...]

Hi Josh,
thanks for the great flowcharts. I´ve created one myself, based on your simplified approach and copied more or less the structure of yours but created it from scrach and altered the look quite a bit.
Would you be ok with you if I published my chart on flickr and twitter, so that people can download and use my version? Ofcourse I can send you the flowchart I created if you wish to look at it before you decide.
All the best from Berlin,
Sebastian

Thanks Josh…this is a great background reminder to stay on track and organize decisively on the fly…it’s so easy to get distracted with these machines
