Unfortunately, I really dislike Evernote, which is software he originally utilized with his systems. Tiago Forte addressed this with his PARA and Building a Second Brain systems, which are great. That is not to say that PPV is 'the one to rule them all,' but for my needs, it is better than other methodologies I have tried.įor example, GTD does not really have a significant knowledge management component. But these are not limitations of the PPV system. Notion is clunky in areas, doesn't have an API, and is substandard in dealing with text - Evernote, OneNote, Google Drive are all better. I think some people confabulate the limitations with Notion with limitations with PPV.

In fact, I've paid twice as much to attend medical symposiums that have half the value and were way more of a hassle to access (air flight, hotels, nasty food, etc.)

August Bradley did.Īs to being new, so we shouldn't pay any attention to Tiago Forte or Elon Musk 'cause David Allen and Bill Gates have been around longer? I thought the whole point of disruption in a space IS to be new, innovative, and fresh?Īs for August Bradley, I'm doing his PPV class right now.

And David Allen never laid out his whole system, top to bottom, for free on YouTube. So, again, what is your point? At one time, it cost $1100 a head to get a seat at one of David Allen's seminars. I don't recall any of them, or any serious influencer in the GTD space, not being about making money. I'm the CEO of two companies and have interacted with material ranging from Zig Ziglar to David Allen to Stephen Covey all the way up to Tiago Forte and Seth Godin. What do you consider to be a 'fully-fledged and efficient productivity system?' Or, as I said at the start of the post, perhaps I'm missing something and I'm misunderstanding some key aspect of his PPV project management? If so I'd welcome being corrected. But at least it results in a much more clear and succinct Next Actions view. This is of course far from ideal as every time I complete a project task from my Next Actions view I have to navigate to that project and manually tag the next task so it shows in my Next Actions view. I'm not bashing August as I personally haven't found a way to do the above, other than manually tagging the next task as 'next'.

When you tick the next actionable task in a project as done, the following task automatically appears in your next actions list.

The ability to filter just the next actionable task for all your projects.

The result is a lot of text on the screen arranged in such a way that it doesn't seem easy to visually parse at a glance.Īlso, it seems to me his system is missing two key features (at least in my opinion) for project management: But it's fairly laborious to do, and you end up with a task list that is not visually very intuitive, with two extra columns with the previous and next task name for every task in the project. I understand how he sets up the previous/next task (he calls them following/next in line), by creating relational links between the tasks. I feel like I'm missing something because I don't get the big advantage of how August's PPV system implements projects.
