GTD is a really simple process.

People get all worried about the actual gear you use, it doesn’t really matter.

And Leo Babauta, it’s really impossible to say whose less stressed, a blog owner or a seminar guru, and I think any comparisons are meaningless.

The most important factor in GTD is accessibility, you need to be able to access your system(s) when ever you need them, at the right time, in the right place.

You may have to divide your offline world and online worlds systems, and that’s okay.

your e-mail may have tasks that are specific to e-mail, that aren’t apart of your other GTD systems

(or you may use your gmail “as” your total system)

If you have a written list of all your GTD systems, and for that matter all your “inboxes” (e-mail, voice mail, mail, note pads, journal enteries etc…) you can go through your list and see if you’ve covered all your bases.

Bottom line?
you gotta know what projects you have to do
you gotta know what next actions you gotta do
you gotta have an inbox
you gotta have a place to file your reference material.

it’s not rocket science, it’s pretty straight forward.
you find the tools that are right for you.

[...] Kata Leo Babauta, kita bisa lebih menyederhanakan setup GTD sesuai dengan kondisi kita masing2. Saya setuju dengan pendapatnya. Maka, saya pun punya setup dan tools GTD tersendiri yang sangat sederhana namun cukup membantu saya mengatur tugas2 atau hal2 yang harus saya kerjakan. Tidak perlu terlalu rumit karena toh untuk pekerja kelas kambing seperti saya, tumpukan tugas yang dihadapi belumlah terlalu kompleks dan banyak. [...]

I devised a personal an at http://www.gtdagenda.com, and you are welcome to use the application.

You first need to set Goals in each of your life categories. Although David doesn’t call them categories and goals, but “levels of focus, altitude views, areas of responsability etc”, it’s the same thing.

Then you create Projects in each goal, these being sub-goals that when completed move you forward to the completion of the goal.

Then you have Tasks, actionable steps in each project. Here you can set the famous Next Actions, and also associate the tasks to your Contexts.

Checklists section is great for your repetitive tasks (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly). It generates a series of checkboxes and you check them off as you do the tasks.

Schedules are for the scheduled blocks of time. Even if GTD does not promote scheduling we all have schedules (at work, at school, self-imposed etc). The activities here can be associated with the existing projects.

Calendar section is for events that need to be done or remembered of at a specific date.

Dan,
