I haven't done the whole thing, at least not for all areas. I just haven't had the time to do the initial braindump and organization. Mandriva kept me far too busy, and when I was done with that I just didn't even want to think about it. So I've implemented parts... using the 2 minute rule with stuff to do immediately, making sure things get filed immediately (mostly receipts and whatnot), and using software to track projects, next actions, and someday/maybe lists (but those aren't full lists and I've been slipping there). It's made a huge difference with me using my calendar tho. My calendar is completely up-to-speed with what I'm doing and is definitely a trusted part of my system.

After a few months with GTD, have you managed to keep up with it? I tried it about 4 or 5 times already, but I managed to keep up with it for at most a month. After that I went back to the old way of handling things. There are just too many things that I couldn't handle in GTD way. Just out of curiosity..

I'm going to check that out and see if I can come up with more implementation ideas. I've finished the book this morning and started re-reading it again this time to actually get right into it and do the "first steps". Should be interesting. =) Thanks, John.

Kendrick Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:42:59 +0000 http://linsec.ca/blog/?p=276#comment-2436 I used and taught Covey and Daytimer for many years before reading David Allen's GTD book and switching to GTD. And then I found an application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving.

Dan, I'm going to have to look at that web site. That looks like it could be quite useful. Thanks!

A mobile version and iCal are available too. For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:

Some kind of paradigm shift :) I've choosen Gnome Evolution to implement it. I hope one day all Mandriva workers would attend a seminar from David Allen on GTD :) I’m using the GTD method on a daily basis for one year, and it has completely revolutionated my way of thinking how to work.
