If you want a strategy to get stuff done… here’s a hint: Do it instead of reading about it in a book. :)

Collection, for me, seems like the hardest part, which is why all of these web services help out, a lot.

The whole point of GTD, is to keep things organized, so when you are supposed to do something, you know exactly what to do, and when to do it, instead of floundering with procrastination.

To Jimmy, you read too closely, it’s not that dogmatic, really. David’s book is just a few easy steps to helping you swim through the chaos that should be your world. The way you implement it/apply it is really up to you, his examples don’t have to be your methodologies. You can move forward by just doing, but if you don’t plan with strategy you’re more apt to be in rat holes than above board.

The way I try and term it to friends is this. If you are going to sleep at night and anything nags you about tomorrow, you need GTD. If you are brushing your teeth in the morning and you just remembered something you should have done yesterday, you need GTD.

I have tried other methodologies but finally settled on GTD because it really works.

Since then I have started my own GTD blog to keep track of my own experiences with GTD and share it with others.

For those really interested in GTD resources, I have created the Ultimate Getting Things Done Index, which automatically keeps track of recent entries on many GTD blogs, but also Digg, Flickr, and so on. And it lists many many more software apps for GTD (online and offline). Check it out!

Keep op GTD-ing because it really works! ;)

Some people can just *do* it – you’re fortunate if you’re one of them…

Some people have to work harder at it, believe it or not. Not everybody is a natural. For myself, a little bit of structure can go a long way! :)

Ignorance is a disease, don’t spread it.
