My GTD Implementation - zen habits

A favorite topic among GTDers is describing their GTD implementation. I won’t try and be a non-conformist here — I’ll jump on the bandwagon.

As with most GTDers, I’ve tried a number of different setups. That’ll be my next post. For now, let me describe my current setup:

Pocket notebook I carry this around everywhere simply as a capture tool. Any thoughts, to-dos, projects, calendar stuff that I collect while I’m not at the computer gets captured in the notebook and transfered to my action lists or calendar later. I’ve also been experimenting with the PocketMod, and what I really want is a Moleskine pocket notebook, but I keep telling myself that the coolness of the Moleskine doesn’t justify its additional cost on top of the free notebooks I get at work.
Tracks this beautiful program, written in Ruby on Rails, was written specifically for GTD, and after trying many other online and off-line apps, this is definitely the best. I use it for all of my context action lists, my someday/maybe list, my waiting-for list and my projects.
GCal OK, I’m not the first GTDer to love Google Calendar, but it’s simply the best, and it takes care of all my calendaring needs. For hard landscape only.
Gmail Another popular email app with GTDers, nothing else compares. It rocks.
Misc Other than these main tools, I have an inbox at home and work, filing systems at both locations, and a very clean desk.
