According to the Guardian...
New article on me/GTD just out in the Guardian. It was apparently the cover story in the newly launched "Business Sense," the Guardian's monthly guide to new technology and thinking for small to medium-sized businesses.
The reporter, Ben Hammersley, a delightfully charming chap who did the London RoadMap seminar with us (wearing his classy black bowler the whole time), said that he had come across my book and one weekend while his wife was away on a trip, he just read Part II and "followed directions." Everything wound up in a huge pile in his living room, which he cranked through, and when his wife came home she was amazed by how many things had gotten done around the house. Ben said he was basically in stun mode for a few days, but well worth it!

I saw the article in the Guardian, thought wow, and ordered your book from Amazon which arrived yesterday.
I really need to sort myself out at work with GTD, but if I can do home too I shall be well pleased.

I saw the Guardian article. It was the first I had heard of GTD, which is surprising as I used to work for a large corporate who was always trying to keep up with the latest in business thinking, although always a few years behind the states. The article certainly resonated with me. I have always done lists of things I had to do, only to get depressed with the sheer number of things I did not know how to progress. Clealry, I need help with the next steps. I am looking forward to reading your book -- 2 week lead time from Amazon! Regards, Philip.

I read the Guardian article and GTD sounded exactly what I needed. I've got so many things to do buzzing round my head both at work and home, I permanently feel I'm getting nowhere fast. At work, my day is driven by very short term requests and interruptions and I can't get hold of the longer term items other than to make repetitive lists with no organised way of processing them.
I received the book from Amazon a couple of days ago and have already got my inbox from 100+ items to zero! I'm looking forward to trying the full process.
