- Yes. Read it, really good for inspiration.
- Partially. I modified them to match my specific requirements.
- Yes, it works. Putting things on list is the best you can do. Really helps you to keep your brain free for important things instead of remembering things you shouldn` t forget.
- Yes, it` s worth it.
What i can recommend is zendone.com for implementing the whole gtd flow.
Can be linked with evernote and google calendar which you use for collecting everything and then organize it later in zendone.
GTD helped me to organize my daily life even better than i did it before. I always had lists but if you don` t work with them regularly things are easily forgotten. You have to make this whole flow a new habit, but then you will be for sure more productive.
Also if you do it on a daily basis i would say it removes overhead instead of adding it because you don` t have to waste your thoughts and time at things several times.
Either you work tasks off directly if it can be done in less than 3minutes or you put it on a list from where you will pick it up at a later time.
This answered my question really well, because I don't really believe in "just trying". So many people here confirm it's efficacy, so I will just have to start doing it. I already started to read the book.
Thanks for the reply and for the suggestion! I will have a look at it. I like your clear answers, and check out your blog.
Glad it helped you. I` m sure you will learn something good while reading it. As someone stated lots is common sense but there are also some ideas which let you rethink certain flows in your life. Even if you don` t implement it 1:1 like described it helps to improve daily life management.
