We are live! gtdfaster.com has a new clean site and we are accepting Beta2 signups. Beta1 was a huge success and we learnt alot and we changed 70% of the UI design and flow of the product based on the amazing feedback we got from Beta1.

Ok so I've jumped the gun here and started talking about Beta accounts et al. Let's start from the beginning and let me explan to you what GTDfaster is all about, then some notes about productivity and history followed by stuff that we are working on and how we got to where we are +++ where we are going!! Exciting future ahead.

Motivation behind the product - some history

For many years our investor (Ernest Semerda) has been an active reader of many Psychology Books and the editor of Experiments in Personal Development, Productivity & Inner Peace: http://blog.ernestsemerda.com

Inspired by David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD)®, psychology insight & teachings of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Sigmund Freud, RD Laing, Edward de Bono, David D Burns & VS Ramachandran (to name a few) and long passion for technology (See www.heroadtosiliconvalley.com) an idea formed. To design & build a tool which would address everyday core issues of limb extension (being the brain).

The goal was to grow, experience more and become more productive in this amazing, overwhelming & fast paced world.

Post failed attempts to find other tools that would address this; Ernest decided to prototype his ideas over the last 4 years starting back in 2008. Joining forces with Fotis in 2011, the idea matured and evolved further into what is now called GTDfaster.

This blog will initially outline Phase 1 of GTDfaster, a small piece of a complex but simple to use device.
