Adding to the GTD surplus - a link to a list of GTD-related blogs - kinda anti-time management, reading all these instead of simplifying your life, but hey - isn't that a part of blogging anyway?

Another GTD-site I like is GTD TIMES, which is hosted by the author of Getting Things Done, David Allen (see earlier NEM post).

OK, now off to apply all this fundamental efficiency!

In case you feel the need or haven't started something...

I'm a big fan of GETTING THINGS DONE by David Allen.

And today, it's amazing how easy it is to find like-minded people who can help me better understand the concepts in the book, or find variations (software, support tools, et al) to best implement (my favorite is for my blackberry, TODO MATRIX) in my life. Simply, where I might've come across something of interest 10+ years ago, it would've been buying the book only when I was at a bookstore or after seeing an article in a newspaper or magazine espousing its virtues But what's a complete shift for me now is how easily I experience similar efforts to embrace something new by folk who I share so much with (and with almost no likelihood that I know these people). Don't have to sit in the same hotel conference room seminar; don't have to wait until someone I've deemed credible comes to me and says, "You should check this out."

That alone has sped up my life immeasurably.
