I have been using GTD for 6-9 months now. And to be honest it has been an off and on relationship. I finally realized that I do get great satisfaction and relief from getting everything out of my head - however...

Once I have my lists in place - I look at them and panic. I become overwhelmed by what I have to get done and start avoiding them. I usually push though for a few days to a few weeks but in the end I stop using them.

So what is you advice for not panicking - or how do you suggest getting out of panic mode and just start doing next actions.
