by David Allen
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Feb 2026 on Mick Unplugged.
The general take
Todd Rose is genuinely devoted to David Allen's Getting Things Done system, describing himself as obsessed with it and faithful to the methodology—particularly important since he acknowledges he's not naturally organized and relies on the system to manage that. He uses it as a practical organizational tool that clearly works for him.

…discussing daily non-negotiable rituals and organizational systems
“So this is going to sound really nerdy, but it's been really important to me. So I am obsessed with organization because I'm not a very organized person, like innately. And so I am very faithful to David Allen's getting things done. And I use these organizational systems.”
