Walk me through a day in the life of your gtd system

Most of the posts/sites I read discuss setup and technologies people use for GTD. I feel like I have a handle on the concepts and getting set up. WHere it falls apart for me is using it in practice. As soon as the flood of daily email enters my inbox, I can't maintain all my lists.

I'd like to see some "day in the life" walk throughs of how people use GTD throughout the day. As the emails, requests from co-workers etc come in, how are they tracking them and keeping them in the system.

I hope my question makes sense LOL.

re: Ready-Set-Do! - GTD Implementation for the Mac

There's a bit more detail about the Ready-Set-Do! GTD implementation for the mac I've designed and have been using in the Projects thread of 43folders:

In addition to the Speak It On My iPod and Do Daily Review scripts there is also a Sync iCal ToDos script for syncing with your Palm and these others.

1. Empty Your Head
2. Get INBOX to Empty
3. Get Some ACTIONABLES Done
4. Get Clear on PROJECTS
5. Follow-Up WAITING FORS
6. Get Some READING Done
7. Do DAILY REVIEW
8. Do WEEKLY REVIEW
9. Make Action Lists?
10. Ready-Set-Do! Help?

Here's a pic of the Quicktime movie that goes over how to 'juggle' the GTD workflow using these Ready-Set-Do! scripts on the mac?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
