For implementing GTD you can use http://www.gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.

There is a twist on “write everything down and then choose the most important one to do first” – and it comes from Mark Forster, from his book “Do it Tomorrow”. It’s the difference between a ‘to do’ list and a ‘will do’ list.

A ‘to do’ list is endless – you never get to the bottom of it as new things get added all the time, and it is hard to choose which is the most important, as it will include ‘important and not urgent’ and ‘urgent not important’ items which need to be prioritized.

I ‘will do’ list is the list of things you will do today. For it to work, it needs to be do-able today (otherwise it becomes a to do list). I find it incredible powerful. Because something is on my will do list, I have committed to doing it, so I will work a little longer to finish it. Likewise, I won’t let myself be interrupted because I know I need to finish my will do list. And when I do finish it, I feel great.

Another advantage is that, since I know I will be doing everything on the list, it doesn’t matter what order I do them in – most difficult first or easiest first – it depends on how I feel.

If you haven’t come across Mark Forster, I recommend him, he is great value: http://www.markforster.net/

Best wishes

Hi Steven, I haven’t been by for awhile. You site is looking great. I have been thinking about a Kindness project for bloggers to come together and bring their resources to make for a better world.

Check out my blog today and let me know what you think. I am a social activist at heart and it seems the world needs a good dose of kindness to get us all heading in the right direction.

Hope you are well and I look forward to reading your thoughts,

Joseph

Clutter can definitely manifest inside your mind. When you always come home to a messy environment, chances are, the mess will affect your mind or your mood subconsciously. A lot of clutter can easily make a person unproductive.
