I would estimate that I have already spent approximately 10-15 hours investigating GTD systems. In general I have found that every single thing I read is beneficial, which is actually less helpful in the information overload sense. One of the most useful resources I have found is The Now Habit by Neil Fiore. So far I have done the following with The Now Habit:

• Downloaded a sample and a blank Now Habit schedule, or “unschedule,” from the author’s website. Unschedules are supposed to represent a realistic picture of the time available and provide a way to keep track of time and accomplishments. However his sample schedule is not really designed to be printed and used so I recreated it as a Word document.
• Subscribed to TheNowHabit Yahoo! Group. I don’t really like to receive all those emails, not even the daily digest, so I didn’t choose that method of subscription. So you’re probably wondering why did I even join the group to begin with? Well the reason is because they have in their files section an entire chapter-by-chapter summary of The Now Habit book.

I am still reading through the chapter summaries but so far what I have read is a very good explanation of why people procrasinate. Now I will proceed to work on my own unschedule!
