Too Many Lists, Processes, etc...

I just started reading GTD, and my head is spinning. Get everything in my "In"
tray !!!

I'm old school and use a Covey Planner and wanted to try a new technique. GTD sounded good but man it's a lot of work. Just read about half way through the book and I'm confused as hell.

Need help for an easy way to get started. Seems like a lot of prep time just clearing out your head.

HELP:confused:

I suggest finishing the book...

I suggest finishing the book before getting into the rest of GTD. I've seen a lot of people get all excited and start getting into it before finishing the book. It'll probably give you a better perspective since you'll see what the desired outcome really is.

These boards should be a huge help; they've helped many a GTD newbie.

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. »
