Massive GTD Resource List

Every Monday is Productivity & Organization Day at Zen Habits.

My tribute to all the GTD junkies out there (a group that includes me) — a massive list of GTD stuff. It’s far from comprehensive, but who can be comprehensive on a topic this huge?

Got other stuff to add in the list? Let us know in the comments.

The Books

Overviews

Other resource lists

The Blogs

Online tools

Offline software

Analogue Tools

Tools for Mobiles & PDAs

Am I the only person on the planet using Hiveminder? People always forget to mention it when covering GTD software. I tried vitalist & RTM and I’m sticking with HM

Thanks for the input, guys!

@Patrick: I didn’t include Steve Pavlina because I don’t consider him a GTD blog. I’ve been reading his blog for almost 2 years and have never seen an article on GTD. I went to check just now and while he has a GTD tag, none of the 34 articles with the GTD tag actually discuss GTD.

Glad you guys like the list!

@gtdfrk: Sure, feel free to use whatever you like from this list. It’s a free resource to everyone in the GTD community. Also, your list was invaluable to me in helping me fill in some of the gaps in my research, so if I can return the favor, I’d be very happy!

Hey Leo,

What a comprehensive list you’ve got here!

I’d be honored if you included my popular GTD Mastery 100 checklist. David Allen thought it was pretty good when I asked him about “GTD metrics” at a recent Roadmap seminar. He’s a really cool dude!

Have a great day!

I highly recommend the Circa system from Levenger. It’s sold as Rollabind elsewhere, for not as nice (but also much less money). Combined with a Circa/Rolla punch, it allows a GTD adept to file loose paper of all kinds in changeable order within a sturdy, attractive binding. Owners raved about these, so I bought one despite its high price. It’d be a bargain if I’d paid twice as much. Probably the best GTD thing I ever did, after buying Allen’s book of course.

Hello:
It is with great pleasure that I am asking if there is a place where I can upload templates for GTD next actions. To make things easier for everyone. These xml sheets should help getting bigger tasks breaken down into more do-able tasks.

I hope these Excell worksheets help everyone.

Thanks
Lloyd Adams

Just give me a space where I can upload these templates, and It should be excellent.

Thank you much…
