   Hi Geoff, actually I have the book “Getting things done” by david Allen (in German translation) right here on my desk. It’s a small world, isn’t it? But the funny thing is, I keep reading the book, but I don’t follow it strictly. I do read this book and others like it “Clear your clutter with Feng Shui” and “Simplify your life” just to motivate myself. But then I follow a more instinctive approach. If I like something very much (like doing videos), I will figure out how to do it eventually:-)

   Thanks Woggyflush! Small world indeed. :) I am curious to read Getting Things Done. Maybe it is available online? I like how you synthesize and are influenced by these great books and then find your own way that suits you best! I try to do a similar thing :)

   P.S. For “to motivate yourself”, there is a common German expression “to overcome your inner pig-dog” (“den inneren Schweinehund besiegen”). Don’t ask me how a pig-dog looks like! It’s just an expression. The pig-dog (“Schweinehund”) is something inside you (like a small devil perhaps) that stops you from being excellent, the pig-dogs wants you to be lazy, sitting on the couch and watching TV instead of jogging in the park etc. You can never kill the pig-dog, just oppress it for a while…

   Cool! I find drinking lots of orange juice scares away my Schweinehund :) I drink about a litre a day or more! thanks Woggyflush :)

   I found that I had a nasty habit of forgetting things I needed to get done when they were available to me (when I’m at home), but remembering them at inconvenient times (while in transit). I started to force myself to write things down in GTasks the moment I thought of them so that I wouldn’t forget. It’s nice that it syncs between my phone and computer, but it sounds like the apps you mention have many more features… I’m not sure about you, but I find it somewhat satisfying to knock down an item in the list, no matter how small it is.

   Thanks Martin! Yes I find the same thing about the feeling of satisfaction and the remembering.

   Geoff, we’d like to invite you to a new productivity and GTD app called IQTELL. Our app runs Evernote with to-do lists, all your email and calender accounts, bookmarks and much more, in one place.

   The app has a GTD workflow module already installed on it but you can customize any workflow on the app. To register go to our site at http://iqtell.com/ and we’d happily give you an “app grand tour!” ;)
