In this GTD Gem, GTD coach Meg Edwards shares a passage from Chapter 4 of David Allen's Getting Things Done, "Getting Started: Setting Up Your Time, Space, and Tools." She explores why having your own dedicated workspace matters and why sharing one can create underlying stress.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
👉 Why you need a system you use, instead of one you keep rebuilding
👉 How separate workspaces can ease tension between people sharing a home
