Series 2: Getting Things Done desktop backgrounds

Posted February 9, 2006

Due to popular demand, here’s the second series of Getting Things Done desktop backgrounds.

See the first series of backgrounds.

I think I’ve covered all the material in the book that is useful to me and can be encapsulated into a desktop background, however if there is something additional you’d like to see, let me know in the comments.

Each file contains the image at 1900×1200, 1680×1050, 1600×1200, 1440×900, 1024×768, and 800×600.

If you prefer the slideshow format that Shari devised, I have included that as well, with all 8 slides together.

    Excellent work, Jacob! Thanks for covering the pieces I always have so much trouble with.

    Hi Jacob,

    Another great job! One nit to pick though. The “1900×1200″ resolution should actually be 1920×1200. Yup, it’s trivial for me to add an extra 20 pixels of background, but I thought I’d just let you know… :)

    Thx, Mike

    P.S. I like your site design - it’s very nice.

    Update. And I just realized that the nit that I should be picking is my own. When I requested the widescreen versions in your earlier post, I mistyped the resolution numbers. Doh! The correct widescreen size is 1920×1200. Mea culpa!
