Due the abundance of information out there about "Getting Things Done" (GTD), David & Co. has responded with a web page that provides an official definition of this term: http://www.davidco.com/what_is_gtd.php

I've been GTD'ing for several years--successfully, I might add. I have Outlook 2003 and have it configured according to David's step-by-step instructions. I've been and still am interested in purchasing the Add-In, but I'm concerned it will be either a difficult transition or cause me problems...
I am a loyal ACT! user for my contact information and appointments and sync with my Palm. For years I have been making lists of people to call and things to do using ACT! and therefore attaching them to a contact and date. This goes against the GTD list process and I would appreciate any guidence...
Some of you have looked at Personal Brain, as a tool to capture and retrieve information using associative thoughts. I recently interviewed Harlan Hugh, creator of The Brain software about the latest release. Harlan mentioned that he has many customers that use Personal Brain as their GTD system....
Hi! I was wondering whether anyone has tried out the cards from www.nextactioncards.com? Seems like a neat, and fairly inexpensive way, to implement GTD. I've had it with the high tech methods and am looking around for a lower tech way. Steve
I have downloaded a trial version of this new software from Netcentrics, however I'm having problems with it. I have contacted support at Netcentrics, but I just wondered if anyone else had tried the software and got it to work?
Does anyone know if the Notetaker Wallet is still being made, or is obtainable from another supplier (like Nightingale Conant for the GTD Fast CDs when David Co. was out of stock)? It's been listed as "Temporarily out of stock" for months.
I've discovered that one of the reasons I don't look at my PDA regularly is because the case I use is awkward and uncomfortable. It's a rhinoskin aluminum case that looks great--all sleek and metallic--but it's a pain in the neck to work with. So, in an effort to overhaul my GTD practices as well...
I'm in the process of migrating from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 (using Marc Orchant's new book "Unofficial Guide to OL 2007" to ease the transition). One vexing problem I've encountered is that OL 2007 has flagged every one of the 400+ tasks that were in my task lists in OL 2003. So now, all 400...
I love the way I can manage my tasks on the Today touch-screen on my Windows Mobile 5 device. But I'm getting fed up with it crashing and being slow. I'm moving my Exchange Server account to a new IT supplier soon, so I'm taking the chance to look at other options. My IT guy tells me Blackberry...
I have been trying out Vitalist for managing my projects and tasks for the last couple of days. It's a web-based system for implementing GTD, it's simple and it's free! No download needed: simply access the web. It even has a mobile edition: I easily access all my projects/next action on my...
I currently have a Treo 750. I need help using gtd on it. The basic PIM doesn't cut it. I am debating between Pocket informant and Agenda One. PI has more options, including Project management. Agenda one has a cleaner appearance and a smaller footprint on my device and is much easier to use...
It’s funny how you get stuck in a particular working method, then you try something new and it’s like WOW! - Why didn’t I think of this before? I’ve been using GTD since autumn last year, with Outlook on PC synchronised to my PocketPC (Qtek9100/HTC Wizard). Most of the “note capture phase”...

I just switched jobs, and at my old company, we used Lotus Notes (yuck), but now I have Outlook 2003 (yay!) with wireless sync to Blackberry 4.1 (yay!). So what better time than to try to implement GTD in a fully electronic manner, right? I bought the “GTD for Outlook” whitepaper and have more or...
Apologies in advance if this has been addressed elsewhere, and I'm just not forum-savvy enough to find it :) If a previous post exists, I'd be happy to find my answers there, and then ask follow-up questions if necessary :) I've set up my GTD system as suggested by the "GTD & Outlook"...
I've been GTDing for about 6 months and I still regard myself as a novice. An area in which I need to strengthen my GTD habits is that of projects: recognising them, breaking them down into steps then doing the actions at the right time and place, and in the right order. I have found the GTD Add-In...
I have been working on a project for a while now, to put together an effective calendar system that incorporates the features of GTD with the unique needs of my meatspace job. I have posted previously on the Gear that I use to stay organized, and while it is working well enough, it is somewhat...
I am just starting to implement GTD and as a result I am currently going through heaps of back-logged stuff. I have just come across a heap of folders full of reference material for work that are definitely worth keeping but don't fit into my filing cabinet. They are currently in a spiral bound...
(I've searched the forums but can't find the answer to this one...) I have just upgraded to Mindmanager 6. I have managed to figure out how to sync my Outlook Tasks with Mindmanager. Unfortunately, I am not getting the results I expected. I would like the mindmap to be called 'Tasks'. ...
Hello everyone, I recently set up one part of a paperless filing system and I would like to share the experience to show you what's possible. I've documented the process with narrative, screen shots, and a brief video clip. Link: Paperless filing system in Lotus Notes in 5 easy steps ...
