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.
