This is how my GMail inbox look like since started using GTDGMail 2 weeks ago.
I didn’t take a screenshot of the inbox before but it was close to 100 times that figure.
Did GTD Work?
Well, the idea of GTD is simple and attractive. Although GTDGMail is a nice Firefox plugin to implement the concept of GTD in Gmail, I haven’t quite gotten the most out of it for 3 reasons.
- If you have thousands of thing in your head, jotted on post-it or stacked across the desk, can you imagine getting all that into GTDGMail?
I haven’t gotten around to tag things outside of my GMail inbox. There got to be a better way instead of sending myself a thousand emails. - I get quite alot of email, the end result is that I spend alot of time following the two minutes rule to clear each email without skipping any.
- The tagging and reviewing work flow is still very clumbersome for me.
All of these are not really a problem with GTD or GTDGMail per se but more of getting the workflow right.
I believe GTD fit into what I’m doing online, especially with more than a handful of ideas going on. More update as I go along.
