Series 2: Getting Things Done desktop backgrounds
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!
the first series have been immensely helpful so far, and i’ll be adding these to the lineup. thanks so much!
Michael: It’s all your fault! :) Thanks for the compliment.
Julien: Glad you like them! I just subscribed to your podcast—been looking for something exactly like what you are doing.
These are the bomb dizzle thank you my nizzle :) Great Work!
Can’t seem to download the zip files. Any ideas?
