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

Ready-Set-Do! is a full GTD-implementation for the mac. It now comes with three Quicktime movie tutorials that give a quick overview of the core GTD habits (great even for non-mac users!).

The advantage of this approach to GTD on the mac is that it comprehensively integrates all of one's files and programs into the GTD workflow without locking users into a program that may or may not have long-term future software support.

Once installed just choose one of the following from the Ready-Set-Do! folder in your dock:
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?

The site also has numerous other Xtras on productivity you may find useful:
? 10 Reasons Why Actionables Linger
? Pruning Your GTD System Checklist
? Why It's Not Getting Done Checklist

If you would like to try Ready-Set-Do! out (or you know others who would), I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Sincerely,

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. »
