So, what makes GTD easy for you to do? What one tip or trick do you have to share that simplifies the system, or one aspect of it?
For me, it's something I ran across in one of DA's books -- can't remember if it was GTD or Making It All Work. Anyway, it's the problem that when you're trying to concentrate on Task A, your mind is likely to keep distracting you with popping up all these other tasks that you really ought to be thinking about. That's a BIG problem for me! The GTD solution is to PLAN for that to happen -- to Capture all those ideas, write them down, and then get right back to Task A at hand!

It makes all the difference for me if I just make sure I have a notepad and pen handy to jot down all those random thoughts, so I can acknowledge them without actually getting distracted by them. Once I'm done with Task A, I can either toss my random list into my Inbox or just give them a quick process.
