Never heard of GTD... but I think I could do with it! Reading the amazon reviews it seems good...

Bit confused by this index card shit though.... physical cards? or can they be virtual?

Does GTD actually help you get things done?
 
Well, first you have to be motivated enough to read the book :P

But yes, GTD is a very useful and highly acclaimed system. While Ive only gotten through half of the book, the parts that I have implemented have been pretty damn amazing.

For example, you break todo lists up into subject. You could have @Habits, @URGENT, @Work, @School, whatever. Another useful tip is having a SOMEDAY list. If you see random little shit like 'clean out bookshelf', you write it down immediately under the Someday list so it doesnt sit on your mind.

There are also lots of 'principles'. By that, I mean one of the more important ones are you have a.) a calendar and b.) a todo list. Calendar is for inflexible, must be done, set in stone dates whereas your todo lists are flexible and fluid.

Definitely some good tips in there, check it out LazyHippy.
 
I'm just trying to use my ppc phone to get more organised. seems like this might help me do the job in a more productive way.

Downloading now, Adobe Reader LE on my phone.. nice big VGA screen too.. sorted!

Perfect timing :D
 
Hippy, try using Agendus for your calendar.

Combine that with Bluetooth and you can sync your smartphone from your nightstand and update your calendar like I do. :)
