Merlin, thanks for the site and the pointer to GTD. As a result of reading your site, and doing some footwork research on the book, I decided today to go out and get it myself and see how it works for me. I’m notoriously bad at my time management, in part due to procrastination, in other part because I just plain tend to forget to do things. All the advice I’d been given in the past was just flim-flam compare to what I’m reading here about GTD.

I also do the “junk” style folder, though I tend to have a few project-related folders to sort things into, depending on what work projects i’m handling at the time. the rest goes to a more general folder that i just toss to the back of the hard-drive once in awhile. it gets cleaned out occasionally when i start wondering where i put something a few weeks ago. i almost always find it in there, and then begin a 5-minute clean out of .zip files of 6-month-old software downloads.
