Personal Productivity – by David Allen. David Allen has created a personal productivity system. I’ve started reading his book to learn more about it. I’ve tried Stephen Covey’s productivity process and I didn’t stay with it. I’ve started to hear a buzz about GTD. There are several software pages available right now and at least one on the way. What I’ve read so far seems very do able. I’m a little excited.
One thing that I have learned about these different productivity systems is that they have to work the way you work. By that I mean the system needs to refine your style not necessarily create a whole new style. A system that refines your style of work you are more likely to stay with than a system that completely redefines how you do things.

Update – (5-25-07) – Since I wrote this blog post I’ve started using iGTD, it is a freeware application that is simple to use and doesn’t get in the way of the GTD process. It also has a Quicksilver plug-in so that you can add items to GTD while your working in other applications.
Omnigroup is also creating a GTD application called Omnifocus. It is currently is alpha. The Omnigroup website site has a screencast demoing the application. Take a look at it. I found it helpful.
