Attention Lifehackers

[prog]

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).

Well, after being strongly encouraged by an at-the-time boyfriend that it was Simply Awesome (he had independently come up with a very similar system, but also really like GTD).

That was almost 4 years ago, and I have yet to implement any of the ideas. They -sound- good, but I already have a filing system and a calendar on which to write appointments. Maybe if my life gets more complicated I will revisit the book and try out those checklist thingies.

Yeah maybe I should complete that sentence:

So after being strongly encouraged, etc., to read the book, and hearing, "I'll buy you a copy if you promise to read it!" I finally said, "Alright already," and I did end up skimming it.
