Thanks for the info Sam. I didn't know that actually. I knew David Allen used and promoted the system. Well, the major point is to have a system that works for you. I'm currently trying it out, and seeing what it can do for me. So far, I've been more productive, when I stick with the system. If I don't, I tend to not get anything done. I'll update my blog as I progress. Oh. Thanks for the info Sam.

He collects useful ways of implementing GTD, tips and tricks, nifty software that kind of stuff. One of the things about GTD is that you are supposed to tweak it to fit your self. It' doesn't prescribe what tool you should use just how to organize things regardless of which tool you use. That makes it easy to mistake 43 Folders and Merlin Mann as the creator of the system, since on the web he get's a lot more exposure than David Allen does. Anyways have you read the book? I've read most of it, but didn't put enough effort in to actually making the system a habbit. I've been thinking of trying again though. I need to re-read and finish the book though.
