A Pragmatic Guide to Getting Things Done
GTD is a great system; once you follow it (in some form), it quickly becomes difficult to imagine how anyone lives their life without it.<p>I have found Evernote to be a great tool to implement a GTD system.  Evernote's greatest strength is its flexibility.  It works on basically every platform and integrates with most other tools you use.  It doesn't really tell you <i>how</i> to use it though, which is where GTD fits in perfectly.  (And it turns out to be really helpful to integrate as much of your system as possible into one tool.)<p>I found this site to be a great resource getting started with GTD and Evernote: <a href="http://www.thesecretweapon.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesecretweapon.org/</a><p>My current system is very similar to what they describe, although I added a 'Waiting' status, which includes both things that need to be done at or after a given time, and things where I want to remember that I'm waiting on something outside my control (a reply to an email, for instance).  I set reminders on everything in there.<p>The one other significant tweak I made is to use notebooks instead of tags for the 'when' portion.  Since every task needs to have a 'when', and since every note has one and only one notebook, this seemed like a logical fit.  So instead of the 'Current' notebook they recommend, I simply use a Current stack containing a notebook for each priority level.<p>I also use Powerbot to improve clipping emails from gmail.<p>Anyway, the details don't matter and are easy to change.  The main point is, give GTD on Evernote a try, and you'll be glad you did.
