KETTERING, Ohio--(Business Wire)--
MWV Consumer & Office Products, a division of MeadWestvaco Corporation
(NYSE:MWV), and leading manufacturer of planning and organizing tools, office
products and school supplies, in collaboration with David Allen Company, has
developed a line of GTD tools, inspired by David Allen`s bestselling book,
"Getting Things Done." 

The line of 13 products combines Allen`s groundbreaking work-life management
system with the quality and functionality that MWV`s AT-A-GLANCE brand has
brought consumers for nearly half a century. Products include the GTD
Coordinator, a collection (in)box, tickler file and leather note taker wallets. 

"Together, Getting Things Done and GTD tools from MWV can help transform feeling
overwhelmed and overloaded into an integrated system of stress-free
productivity," said David Allen, chairman and founder. "Whether you are an
influential executive, a busy home manager or a serious student trying to
achieve good grades, GTD tools can help by streamlining ways to capture and
organize information in written and printed forms." 

"Our agreement with David Allen Company allows us to bring innovative Getting
Things Done products to our customers, which in turn allows our customers to
offer these unique work and life management tools to the end consumer," said Don
Sommerville, vice president of marketing, MWV Office Products Group.
