GTD?

For those who know me, it is no secret that I have organizational issues. (No, no, I don't have issues with NGOs or non-profits). Keeping my sh*t together is a bit of a challenge and, well, getting things done is a bit more like moving things around. So, I frequently read books and blogs on organization and productivity; I download software; and I sign up for web2.0 services, all in the service of getting it together. (Un)Fortunately, there are a myriad of resources available for organizing your life. Sadly, I am a terrible decision-maker and I spend entirely too much time reading and playing and not enough time doing. At the very least I figure that I can share my findings. There will be additional reviews to come. I'm currently trying out wikis, blogging apps, database apps, and notebook applications. These recommendations are divided into the following categories:

  • productivity blogs
  • GTD on your Mac
