Getting started with GTD

After listening to a few Productive Talk podcasts and starting to listen to the GTD audio book, I'm trying to get my arms around how to actually get started in the GTD practice.

I work as an IT consulting co. account mgr. In office about 50% of the time, getting 40 actionable emails per day, but most are not defferable, I have to handle and do most of the tasks.

Being over 50, remembering everything is not what it used to be and I am looking for a method to improve tracking of emails, phone calls, and physical documents.

I've installed a demo of the Outlook Addin however I don't know enough about GTD to actually benefit from it.

Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
