GTD for bloggersGood buddy Leo Babauta of ZenHabits has a great post fusing GTD and blogging, specifically for us bloggers who suffer from not using our time productively. Between reading, writing, commenting, responding to emails, advertising, and many other tasks, it can get a little hairy for someone without a trusty system. Fortunately GTD plays perfectly into a blogger’s workflow, as Leo goes on to illustrate.

While the post is full of tasty examples for bloggers,  I especially loved this part of the post:

One of the problems with the way people implement GTD is that they spend too much time fiddling with the system and their tools. You’re a busy person — you don’t have time to do all that. Pick a tool, and stick with it. Now spend your time actually writing your posts, and responding to comments, and making your blog better.

How many serial GTD’ers suffer from this problem, even aside from blogging?  When we realize that it’s not all about the system and actually start doing things, we’ve figured out the true meaning of GTD.
