Excellent, Rosa! Can't wait to read about your journey. I've read both books, and subscribed to both methodologies over time. Right now, and for the last several years, my mix has been about 90% GTD and 10% Franklin-Covey. The Covey parts are about how my values shape my long-term, big-picture goals and vision. Pretty much everything else is GTD.

Mahalo nui Bren. You my friend, actually get a lot of credit for this, for I do believe that I first heard about GTD from you, and you wouldn't shut up about it!

All kidding aside Bren, your opinion has been worth gold with me since the day I met you, and for you to have invested so much into your GTD efforts spoke volumes to me that this was something I had to learn about.

We are going to have fun with this. Tomorrow I'll have a riddle for you!
A hui hou,
Rosa

So here is *my* favorite tip: After you've read the book, you'll get SO MUCH MORE out of it if you listen to the "Getting Things Done Fast" CD set David sells. The CD set is basically a condensed version of a 2-day seminar he conducted, and the stories, comments, etc. he shares really made things hit home for me. My experience:

* I read GTD 2 years ago. I tried some things, but got frustrated because I never felt like I hit my stride with the system. So I stopped doing it.

* About a year ago, I listened to GTD Fast - and light bulbs went off. Now, I'm pretty comfortable with GTD and it's (mostly*) stuck with me during the whole year. I've re-listened to the GTD Fast CD several times - it re-motivates me when I feel stuck and gets me back in the groove with the GTD approach.

* I say mostly because I've tweaked a few things to fit the way I work, but the core principles hold.

Hi

I am desperately looking for a copy of the GTD Fast Cds.. if anyone you know wants to sell, I will really appreciate it.

Thanks
