I'm still bad, but it's getting better. Knowing a little about <em>why</em> I procrastinate was a big, big step for me. And I've modified GTD somewhat myself. Someday I may post about how I use it because I think some of my mods might be useful in the nonprofit development world. But I'd like to use my system consistently first! I like The Now Habit.

I don't do everything by the book, but a few months into the process it has already made a huge difference in my work and my life. I've read a few things since then (notably <em>The Now Habit</em>) that fits into the <em>GTD</em> philosophy nicely. And for the work stuff it couldn't have come at a better time since I'm transitioning from front-line techie to manager of techies. The old way wasn't working for managing my workload--let alone the workload of anyone else :) I got pretty lucky my first time with a personal organization system by reading Getting Things Done thanks to recommendations by bloggers (including you) and references on 43Folders and Lifehacker.
