I finally finished reading Getting Things Done. I have been trying to implement parts of the system into my life while reading through the book. I have a filing system up and running. I have been carrying around little notebooks with me everywhere to jot down my ideas. I have been going through all my items and trying to decide next actions, and move them into projects, my inbox, tickler files, and such. I think the little parts I am following will help a lot, I doubt I will ever fully buy into the entire system, but honestly you don't have to and you will still see some great benefits in your organization and productivity.
I can't claim to have done the best job of getting done, with Getting Things Done. I started and finished 5 other books during the time I read Getting Things Done. Why you ask, because this book is about organization skills and business, it is painfully boring and repetitive. I found myself hiding the book in drawers just so I wouldn't have to read, sort, clean, or follow any more of the books tips. If you can make it through the book it really is worth it and the last 50 pages are some of the best in the book. So if you want to be more effective at everything you do, your next action should be acquiring or start reading Getting Things Done.
Now I guess to continue accomplishing and finishing tasks I set for myself I must finish one other book that I started and have slowly been reading. I have finished 8 other books since starting. Programming books are even more boring to read than business books.
