Developer's Corner / ZTD and transitioning to using GTD
« on: November 06, 2015, 07:11 PM »
Started re-reading GTD recently and am finding:
-Appreciation for certain aspects has grown
-Many seemingly important points didn't stick the last time through
So it seems like it's going somewhere useful.
OTOH, last time through, failed to successfully set up fully and maintain a running system, and this time through I get the sense that the book is almost designed to lead one to ask for help for the implementation stage (specifically from... ). This pattern seems to exist elsewhere in other materials, but perhaps that's for another post...
Anyway, after some consideration of transitioning / adoption and looking around, came across ZTD and Minimal ZTD at ZenHabits. (I found mention of ZenHabits in the forums here, but not ZTD -- please share pointers if any.)
Still working on digesting them, but so far they appear to be close to proper subsets of GTD with Minimal ZTD being close to a proper subset of ZTD. Started wondering if trying to adopt a series of well-defined subsets of GTD (or other system) might tend to lead to more successful transitioning.
Any thoughts or reflections?
On a side note, considered adding to:

but ended up posting here per mouser's suggestion.
