Peter’s GTD Story

Note: Peter’s GTD story is in a different format. Rather than the Q&A of recent installments, Peter’s story is an email he sent to David Allen. In it, he describes how he came across GTD, what tools he has used, and the positive impact it has had on his life.

Dear David,

I have had this on my Someday/Maybe list for at least a year, and now I’ve finally snuck a moment to write to you. I want to say, as strongly and fully as I can, thank you! What you have given me, and so many others, with GTD has been utterly life-changing and eye-opening.

In the interests of making it easy for you to process your email: The following is my story of coming to use and champion GTD, as well as an attempt to unequivocally make it known to you that you can count on me, as a devoted convert, to do whatever I can to help spread GTD from my current circumstances in the UK. So, from my point of view, I’m not presuming any next action on your part, but if you want to read this it will take more than 2 minutes.
