I'm studying Portuguese and, with the course soon finishing, our teacher had this "brilliant" idea of having a two-parts exam: for the written part we would submit a composition (theme of our choice) of about half a page and for the oral part, we would present the theme in front of our class. Taking into account that we're not an advance class, writing more than a few lines is enough of a challenge, now imagine the torture it was for me who has enough problems to overcome writer's block in any language.

I got the tip from a friend that, if I was to write and talk about a theme, it might as well be something I feel passionate about. After a lot of thought and procastination, I decided to write about the one thing I spent most of my time "researching" on. Imagine, all those hours spent reading GTD blog entries would finally be put to good use! :D Now, my second challenge was to find enough material on GTD in Portuguese to base my research on (I mean, how do you translate tickler file?) and find a couple of excellent blogs on the issue (hey, maybe the authors read this forum as well! Enoch and Antonio, please step forward if you're present). 43folders was quoted as reference in GTD in a Brazilian newspaper (Folha de S?o Paulo). Merlin is getting famous worldwide.

I managed to produce a very brief summary of what GTD. I intend to elaborate a little more in my presentation tomorrow. If anyone is curious of how it looks like, I posted it in my wordpress blog.

I just wanted to share this with you because I wanted to check if there are here any non-native English speakers blogging on GTD in their own languages. I'm also glad that I was able to combine two of my main interests and maybe I'll manage to get the people in my class interested about the system. Already my teacher told me she was very intrigued about it. GTD ? muito bacana!
