I'm surprised your methods arent shouted from the rooftops, David. You helped my life immensely over a decade ago, and I'm taking steps to revitalize my habits now, and I can't be bothered with 90% of the methods out there so I came looking for you. Thank you so much.

GTD is simple, but it's not easy for me, getting started. Thanks for the video.

This was so useful. I use google tasks right now. I listened to the book a week ago. Its helping. Ive found if i dont write it down, i dont remember it. This was a scary realisation because now im afraid of all the things that ive been letting slip through my fingers all these years. So grateful for this.

Great video as always. I think the thing that for me made it hard to stick to the GTD method is not that it's complicated or hard in itself, but the power of habit and almost the addiction to operating in the opposite manner for so long! :) Those mental grooves we formed over many years are easy to slip back into!
