"GTD Lite"
Brad Blackman | Jan 11 2006
is there a "GTD Lite" out there, for applying the GTD method without going overboard with the whole thing? i think to some people it's so enormous that it's un-doable, or too complicated. 14 Comments

I came across GTD via various blogs long before I got the book. For me, the thing that turned it from 'seems a nice way to organise things' to 'I want to do this!' was the 'two-minute rule' (if you can do something in two minutes, do it NOW). I found that so liberating -- it got a whole shedload of stupid things done which I'd been putting off for ages. I then played around with bits of the system -- didn't have the time or space to do it all. The next liberation was the 'someday/maybe' list. The realisation that it was 'OK' to want to do things, but NOT move forward on them. It was only after those two bits that I really decided to put the effort in to trying to make the whole system work. So, no grand schemes, no cabinets full of labelled folders. Just a stack of things I'd done in under two minutes and a list of projects I wasn't working on! Seems like a pretty 'lite' version to me. Steve » POSTED IN:
