324: What's Your System Look Like

In GTD®, it's important to have a trusted system. But does that mean that you have one app to store everything? In this call we talk about how we have our systems set up -- personal vs business or all combined, using separate apps for specific things like shopping lists. And how we manage tasks from shared project teams or from others. And lots of apps were shared. Enjoy!!
