Geeks Unite (and get more efficient) with GTD

About 4 months ago Marc Orchant started blogging with us at OfficeZealot.com and since then he has shared over 200 productivity suggestions. His blog is also the most popular here on OfficeZealot.com. I think this proves a point: people who use Office are interested in productivity, getting things done faster, more efficiently and having fun doing it.

So kudos to Marc for his excellent work. However, Marc's contribution to the OfficeZealot world is far more personal.

Early on, Marc and I discovered we had a common interest in organization. We love to organize our life, our office, our computer and our family (though I'm not sure my wife appreciates that). For those who know me personally, I'm often viewed as border line perfectionist. So when Marc suggested I look at Getting Things Done (or abbreviated GTD) I was a bit skeptical. However I'm thankful he did show it to me.

GTD is a simple system to keep things organized and to help you get things done. The thing I like about the system is that it is not complicated. I believe anyone can do it. It doesn't need any fancy software or any special organizer.

So if you're doubtful or have been to lazy to look into it, consider this another plug to do so. But don't just take my word for it:
