So how does GTD work?

43Folders has a great timeless post about getting started on GTD. Below is the crux of the matter. You can read the original post here - http://www.43folders.com/2004/09/08/getting-started-with-getting-things-done.

This is a really summarized version, but here it is, PowerPoint-style:
  • identify all the stuff in your life that isn’t in the right place (close all open loops)
  • get rid of the stuff that isn’t yours or you don’t need right now
  • create a right place that you trust and that supports your working style and values
  • put your stuff in the right place, consistently
  • do your stuff in a way that honors your time, your energy, and the context of any given moment
  • iterate and refactor mercilessly

Foreign Language Character Support

As requested, foreign language character support has been added to the system. I'm not a 100% sure if things are working fine, as I don't use foreign character sets that much. So if you find any glitches please let me know.
