Great video. I’ve been following GTD for a few weeks now, after having been to an Agile talk.  I first finished Ready for Anything, and am now most of the way through the original, Getting Things Done.

I feel like I’ve had something like GTD going on in my life for a while now, though his thoughts have certainly tightened things up and given names to certain aspects.  Watching the video above is a great introduction and a good refresher.

Perhaps what’s best about “the method,” is that there’s really not that much to it.  You have to think about what it is you are doing, and you have to externalize your thought processes so that it doesn’t overwhelm your mind.  Allen gives you a lot of additional structure which moves towards that, though the hard work is mostly embedding those two principles.
