I still haven't finished reading GTD though. Great concepts, but I'm afraid the writing just ain't that good. :( I read a few pages and before you know it, I'm falling asleep. Though that could be the procrastinator in me fighting for survival. LOL @DeronDilger I’m still keeping up with the OmniFocus. I still haven’t finished reading GTD though.

One of the things that I like about OmniFocus, is the upcoming iPhone app. I think that's very cool since my biggest problem right now with GTD is the away from a computer time. Even when I'm in bed, at least the phone is right there. @dannielo,
