We’ve both read David Allen’s Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. We like to find ways to be more organized and efficient. Tools for improving our productivity intrigue us.

He has a cult-like following. His raving fans love his system. The essence of the system is to “do it, delegate it or defer it.”

The gtdagenda.com is all about using the system on the computer instead of paper. There is also integration in the system to receive email notifications each morning for calendar, next actions and/or your vision wall.

There are examples of how you can integrate it with Stephen Covey’s  7 Habits of Highly Effective People or Leo Babuta’s Zen to Done system. There are also suggestions on how to use it for school, the gym or even software development.

The website gives you a snapshot of your goals, projects and tasks on one screen which can be helpful. But for me personally, it’s a little too stark. I’d like to see more customization options – as in color choices, fonts and ways I could rearrange the screen to suit my personal preferences. There is a free option as well as a basic and premium plan with a 30 day money back guarantee which is always nice.

Because I tend to be a very visual person and really do prefer paper I like that you can also print. I also love that there is a Vision Wall where you can upload photos of your goals and dreams. Staying focused on your goals and the steps that move you towards them can be a struggle. The GTD system and gtdagenda.com help you to do this. It breaks goal setting and achieving into manageable, bite size pieces. It is so much more than a to do list. It helps you to have a more organized life and put everything thing in its place.

If you are a GTD devotee, this is worth checking out, especially if you want a web-based system that you’ll be able to log on and access from any computer. For now, we’re sticking with old-fashioned pen and paper because it still works for us.

Interns Leigh Anne Wilkes and Sherra Humphreys have been top direct sales business leaders for 18 and 16 years respectively.

I am a GTD fan too but like you, I prefer to do my GTD on paper.
