Do people have thoughts on bringing a GTD system online without doing a complete collection phase first? I've made some efforts to implement GTD in my life in the past without success. After using a few different processing tools (ThinkingRock, DGT GTD) I have a feel for the software side of the equation. I have re-read the book and I understand where I went wrong in some areas.

I am not sure I am capable of a full collection sweep at this time, but I would like to continue refining my GTD habits. Any thoughts on bringing a system online but straying somewhat from the textbook methodology
