Attention Lifehackers

Any of y'all disciples / detractors of Getting Things Done?

Entering into another transitional state as I am, I have an opportunity to sniff at new productivity philosophies. This one seems to have a substantial amount of cred among full-time net-babblers, but not necessarily among anyone I know personally.

Still, I am starting to get the impression that my own "four pillars" system may be an attempt to implement it without actually having read any of the source material (but being vaguely aware of it for years).

I have read the book, and found it all very interesting. I try to follow it, somewhat, but haven't got myself fully on the wagon.

David Allen giving a talk at Google.

I also highly recommend the book. It's given me a lot of good ideas at least.

Excellent link, thanks.

I like how he says near the start of the talk that he himself falls off the GTD wagon all the time, but the system's engineered to be real easy to get back on any time.
