Calvin,
It actually comes from my experience that most people are avoiding thinking about their "stuff" appropriately - i.e. clarifying what it means to them and what they intend to do about it....
About three or four years ago, my "flat" lists of projects and actions couldn't keep me as much on top of my world as I needed. So I wound up creating a map (in my case, using a MindManager mindmap...
Actually, I'll bet that everyone has implemented GTD implicitly, whenever they were forced into a situation intense enough to demand those behaviors for pure survival. GTD is not some new language or...
1. I don't distinguish what actions I do when, other than what seems best for the moment. That means I could do a personal action on Wednesday between meetings or a "business" action at midnight or...
Bob,
I can do nothing but echo great thanks for your willingness to share your experiences with all of us, on so many different levels.
And, as I've come to realize, hearing from folks like...
It might happen; but not in the foreseeable future. Someday/maybe, in other words. There's certainly a lot of raw material in terms of my thinking and writing since the first one; just some bigger...
Brent,
Making It All Work is about the two aspects of control and perspective, how GTD really works with both, and how they are tied together. Essentially the roadmap to use when things grab your...

I was a bit disappointed that Gary Wolf (the author of the Wired article) rather tackily framed my early adventures and explorations, as well as the work of John-Roger, in such a People-magazine-ish...
Bob et al - I appreciate the challenges and the thinking here. One general response I have is that GTD "orthodoxy" (someone actually used that term somewhere!) is only this: what gets maximum results...
The "retail product" was a mistake made by Nightingale Conant. We were totally unaware that they had sub-licensed (quite illegally, too) the product they were marketing for us, to secondary...
I've been e-casting in some form since Greg and Eric set up my initial Web site in 1997, as a way to raise the GTD flag and see who saluted. Podcasting is simply a more penetrating version of the...
The basics are the same. What's not is how we've ensured the universatlity of the information to map with the realities of your current world...
David
For those of you who care, and particularly for those who have cared to communicate your thanks, please know that this is really major-league appreciated by me personally and by all of us who are...
:!: Yo, you guys should all be on our payroll for PR! How fun to read and see that in spite of all the potentially-commerical-sounding hoopla, people get the simplicity and power of this stuff....
:)
Gotta say, tickler file is one of those things, like the labeler, that embeds the myterious secret magical power of a way-cool simple little structure that can add serious value to your life...
As of this writing we've found the best Brother to be the PT-15. It's about $100 and you have to get it online (not available in the stores). It's fast, solid, easy. You can get it at Provantage.com
