My favorite topic.
GTD has absolutely changed my life from a "stress wreck" to an absolute enjoyable controlled life. Once you've committed 100% of yourself to your system you will wonder how you've even managed to wake up in the morning without it. I have been completely GTD for almost 2 years at this point.
I would suggest you start off by purchasing stacks and stacks of index cards (without lines) and find your favorite pens to purchase. I would also recommend purchasing those big plastic file boxes for inbox storage.
Once you have these, grab some binder clips and clip half stacks of index cards to be placed in various spots in your home (next to the bed, kitchen, living room, office, etc.) and couple these with pens.
Now for the fun part, begin downloading on index cards, every single thing you can think of. Just list a thought per index card. I would not suggest that you try and fill the card, but rather use a card for each individual thought. Even if it's just a word. use that 1 card for that 1 word.
Once you've gotten most out of your head grab those plastic storage boxes and begin (collection time) to throw physical misplaced items and questionable items (including bills, things that you wanted to replace, things that need attention, business cards, appointments that you've jotted down on some odd receipt, ideas you once wrote down on a take-out menu, an unidentified DVD that's been sitting on your desk, etc.) in the box.
Take your time with these steps before you begin processing and organizing.
I would also recommend you download Omnifocus. http://www.omnigroup.com/applica… I like this app right now and have tried just about every app available to date.
Good luck and feel free to email me regarding GTD if you want. I love to talk about it.

- I need a mac, I just don't like using them. Perhaps I'll try installing OSX on my PC.Mojo
