the last time i posted anything about gtd was back in aug 2005 ( here ). it’s now 2 years later and i’m still toying around with the idea of implementing my own gtd method. lately i’ve been trying to organize my ‘data’ and i’m using gtd to do it.

“Getting Things Done, commonly abbreviated as GTD, is an action management method, registered trademarks of The David Allen Company, and the title of the book which describes the method by David Allen.

GTD rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks.”
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtd ]

the wikipedia entry does a good job of explaining what gtd is and even breaks gtd down into a nice list. if you never get around to reading the gtd book, you can find plenty of sites available for more information on gtd. what really irked me is all the time i’ve spent in the last couple of weeks trying to research gtd when really my 2 year old post had enough useful stuff in it ( minus a link to the wikipedia entry ) that i’ve essentially wasted 2 years + 2 more weeks running in circles.

eh i guess it’s time to revisit gtd and not get stuck on the method, but to really use it as a cheatsheet when i need to gain a little focus.
