A Life-saver, I hope: GTD

I was getting desperate. I had literally done nothing 5 weeks of holidays. I was procrastinating again yesterday when I bumped into 43folders. I was bored, so I loafed 'round the site. Then read about a book: 'Getting Things Done' by David Allen. So, I looked into it. I unearthed a whole cult!

The book talks about a system of work management, commonly called GTD, for Getting Things Done. I got(ahem) the book. It's very good. The ideas are quite simple. The techniques look promising. The system is mainly making 'lists' and keeping all plans out of your mind. The systems focuses on Actions rather than Time. I've not read the book completely. Only 1/2 way through. But I'm getting very excited.

The thing about GTD that appeals to me is that it's a completely documented tool. The whole method is flexible and extendable. Like Open Source... It's not that other techniques aren't. But there's no solid framework. In GTD, there's a 'workflow' thing. You know exactly what to do. Then there's hacks and stuff(lifehack, lifehacker, hPDA).

Right now, I'm focussing on getting a working system up as fast as possible, probably within a few hours from now. Then I'll keep bettering myself.

I've got the SAT this Saturday, and I don't know a thing. :(
