About The Black Belt Project

Hey there, my name is Michael and welcome to BlackBeltProject.com. The Black Belt Project was inspired by David Allen’s book Getting Things Done: The Art Of Stress Free Living. In his book, he lays out a system that is better known as GTD.

I’ve implemented GTD and have so much more clarity in what I have on my plate. In his work, he and his followers discuss being a “black belt at GTD”. To me that meant, being the best at GTD you could possibly be and I’ve strived for excellence with my GTD system.

I thought, why must this black belt thinking only apply to GTD? Why not extend it to everything we do? And thus, the Black Belt Project was born.

I live in Indiana with my family and work in sales across the country.
