Getting back on the GTD wagon

I've been a big fan of David Allen and his "Getting Things Done" (GTD, for short) book and approach for many years. During the Thanksgiving holiday I decided to embark on a "GTD retreat" to try to get back on the GTD wagon. I was encouraged by David Allen's own admission that even he sometimes falls off the wagon (but quickly gets back on it).

My "GTD retreat" consisted of:

• Watching three Google Tech Talks: one by David Allen, and two by Melvin Mann (from 43 folders) "Inbox Zero" and "Time and Attention"
• Adding a few more GTD-related blogs to my Google Reader. The list now contains (among others): Lifehacker, Zen Habits, GTD Times, and Stepcase lifehack.
• Selecting a Mac/iPhone GTD tool. I picked Things (and am very happy with it so far).
• [Very important] Putting all the knowledge into practice, using Things, GMail, and Zimbra (email+calendar) 

I'll be cleaning up my email (and keeping an Inbox Zero policy) during the next few days. I'm sure that the process of going through thousands of emails will generate material for this blog. Stay tuned...
