Talking with Nudone and Urlwolf, i think there are several ways we could go with the GTD Experiment, depending on what people want to do.
Here is what sounds most interesting to me personally: Start out with GTD basics, which i personally find very sensible. And then after a while, when everyone has put into practice the key ideas for a few weeks, begin to discuss other ideas, like GED, and encourage people to share their experiences of what works and doesnt.
In other words, everyone who is participating is commiting to improve their efficiency and working process in a dramatic and permanent way. We are doing this because we all want to learn to better manage the stuff we want to accomplish, and feel less stressed doing it.
This 3 month experiment is designed to help us find what works best for us and share those experiences. The same thing that works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. But by the end of these 3 months, you *will* have a system in place, and a new attitude about accomplishing your tasks.
You may find that GTD is perfect for you, and never veer off; you may find that you have to invent your own system.
The important thing is that by the end of the 3rd month, you will have a new system that works for you. There is no room for excuses about "this system is a gimick it didn't work for me!" - because if it doesnt work it's YOUR responsibility to invent a system that does.
By sharing our ideas and experiences, perhaps we can come up with some new principles and rules for our own new DC-style efficiency system.
