For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It is truly a very helpful technique to actually GET THINGS DONE. I only heard of the GTD Method from this blog post, but I kinda do this myself by nature, because maybe my brain is structured in that way. I have two comments:
1. I prefer simple methods of getting things done (like you and Jeff stated) such as using a notebook and writing things down on it (extremely helpful). If you try to implement this method using sophisticated tools such as programs that drag you into countless options, etc. you tend to lose its benefit. In addition -and this is really interesting- you will notice that if you write something down on a piece of paper it STICKs to your brain a lot more (maybe 10 times more) than if you type something on a computer and store it on an electronic document (try it out yourself). I know that in the GTD method our aim is to get things OUT of our brain, but what I meant was that writing it down keeps you alerted (in your subconcious) of what you took out of it. That’s why the notebook proves much more efficient than any other electronic tool.
2. I agree with everything you stated (and/or posted also), but you know the thing about these kind of techniques is that they need some sort of committment to “always follow up and never give up”. The crucial key in the success of this technique is -as you’ve stated above- the regular review (whether daily, weekly, or bi-weekly).
Last but not least, I would prefer having a mix of text and a brief video, because that gives the blog an edge in a way that it makes the blog more lively (endorsing multimedia is a very useful way for communication)

Nigel -good point. I’ll try to keep the video’s shorter(got a bit carried away this time).
Jeff - I agree. My favorite GTD tool is a notebook. A google calendar is a lifesaver for me as well- so much easier than outlook.
Sharon - you’re right. I think Steven Covey was one of the main founders, who introduced systems for dealing with a variety of human thoughts. I am sure David Allen read 7 Habits before writing GTD.
]]>One nice thing: it is system and technology agnostic. There are tons of great software tools out there to help with it, but I mainly use a paper notebook.
Here is an article I wrote about the system:
