I just got this email - an update from David Allen. The new At-A-Glance product sounds intriguing... I removed all of the links, but his web site is davidco dot com...

I'm delighted to have another edition of my Productivity Principles to share with you, along with an apology to those of you who thought we had dropped you off the list, because you haven't seen one for a while! Our work has expanded so significantly in the last eighteen months, with some major seeds we planted all sprouting at the same time, so I've had to make some of those tough decisions about where I put my own focus, and producing frequent original essays like this just didn't make the cut. Lots of great new things are happening for me, GTD, and our company, though, which will be of benefit to everyone. So if you're getting this, don't worry -- you haven't missed any!
My book Getting Things Done continues to spread around the world -- now in twenty-eight languages with more than a million copies in print.
We've entered into partnership with Mead/Westvaco, and the GTD/At-A-Glance line of paper-based products, including a notebook planner of our design, will launch in a major office supply chain in the fall.
Our GTD Connect membership support program is in full swing, including a totally redesigned website, a new GTD-Q assessment tool, and a Getting Started series of audio and video modules.
Another website worth checking out is GTD Times.
We have a new three-CD audio program about the Weekly Review and two packaged volumes of my In Conversation interviews from our Connect library, now available to the public. And lots more is in the works.
I must acknowledge two independent researchers in Belgium, Francis Heylighen and Clement Vidal, who recently published a significant report on the scientific and psychological bases for the effectiveness of the GTD method. Some of their conclusions were the inspiration for my Food for Thought essay below. Their research paper is available in PDF format on the Web. It's heady stuff, but worth the read.
Still here, and hoping this finds you well...

I didn't get that one ... (yes I did!)
and I'm on their mailing list. I feel so unloved! (edit: I just re-checked my e-mail ... apparently it went out in a staggered approach, and it's here now. My ego is busy undenting itself)
Might be nice to have it all pre-packaged - but I love making DIY stuff, too.
I will say, though, that if you get a chance to attend one of his seminars, it's worth it. I truly enjoyed it.
I'm trying to figure out a way to attend the Mastering Workflow seminar as it's being presented near my home. Got to see if my company will reimburse it.
