Start here: GTD® Level 1 Fundamentals in Australia.
The best place to begin with Getting Things Done® is the Level 1 Fundamentals course. Here's how it works in Australia - and how I can help you get more from it, before and after.

The foundation
What Level 1 Fundamentals covers
Level 1 teaches the GTD® methodology end to end - the five steps of Capture, Clarify, Organise, Reflect and Engage, the core lists, and the GTD Weekly Review® that holds it all together. It's the foundation everything else builds on: the stability of day-to-day control. There are no prerequisites, and it works whether you're brand new to GTD® or an old hand wanting to reset. The course pairs a one-day learning experience with the Installation and Implementation (I&I) Series so it actually beds in.
What's included (delivered by Crucial Dimensions): the Getting Things Done book, a participant workbook, a jumpstart booklet, the GTD Workflow Map, and the GTD methodology guides.
Where to train
Where to take Level 1 in Australia
In Australia, Level 1 Fundamentals training is delivered by our partner Crucial Dimensions, the authorised Level 1 provider. They run it well, and I happily point people their way. What I add is everything either side of the course - helping you arrive ready, and turning the training into a working system once you're back at your desk.
The first step
Get the Level 1 readiness guide & referral
Leave your details and I'll send you my short preparation guide - the handful of things worth doing before you walk in - along with the referral to Crucial Dimensions. That way your training lands on ready ground, and we can pick up the implementation together afterwards.
Get the Level 1 guide & referral
I'll send the preparation guide and the Crucial Dimensions referral. No spam - just the next step.

Want something tailored to you or your team?
A public course is the right call for most people. But if your situation doesn't fit the standard mould - you'd like it folded into a coaching or consulting engagement, you've got a whole team to bring along, or you simply want a human conversation before you commit - let's talk first and find the right way in. You'll still leave your details here; it's just a different route into the same pathway.
For teams & organisations
Bespoke programs for organisations
Bringing GTD® to a team or a whole organisation? I design tailored, in-house programs around how your people actually work - the Installation and Implementation Series on your tools, Level 2 and Level 3 for your leaders, and one-to-one or team coaching. Where the Level 1 Fundamentals primer is part of the plan, that component is delivered by our partner Crucial Dimensions, while GTD® ANZ handles the implementation, coaching and advanced levels around it - so you get one coherent program with the right people delivering each piece.
What comes next
After Level 1 - where GTD® ANZ comes in
Completing Level 1 is where it gets real. The methodology only pays off once it's installed in your actual tools and defended as a habit - and that's exactly what GTD® ANZ is for. Once you've trained, there's a clear next step waiting: guided implementation (a Mind Sweep, your GTD Weekly Review®, email and calendar sorted, your system installed in Outlook or Microsoft 365), one-to-one coaching, ongoing accountability to keep the system running, the advanced Level 2 and Level 3 courses, and an alumni community for the long run.
