Mostly GTD today:

100 Steps to GTD Mastery It's probably safe to say that once you get on the GTD [Getting Things Done] bandwagon, it's hard to get off. The key factor being the necessity to fine tune your processes.To make things a little easier, a 100 step guide to becoming a GTD Master has been developed.From The Basics to Mastery, you can follow the checklist to make sure you're on the right track and see where you sit in the grand scheme of organized things. We begin at

1. I have read Getting Things Done from front to back.

and end with

100. Work–and life–is ecstasy, bliss, pure joy.

But a clear favourite [that I'm looking forward to reaching] is Step 69.

I get frustrated with people who drop the ball on things, because I honestly can't understand their perspective anymore.

Well worth the read to see where you are at. The Basics section does well to prioritize the steps that will get hitting the ground running, very handy for those of us just starting out.

Getting started with "Getting Things Done" I'll be talking a lot here in coming weeks about Getting Things Done, a book by David Allen whose apt subtitle is "The Art of Stress-Free Productivity." You've probably heard about it around the Global Interweb or have been buttonholed by somebody in your office who swears by GTD. (It probably takes a backseat only to the Atkins Diet in terms of the number of enthusiastic evangelists: sorry about that.)Like I did the other day with Quicksilver, I wanted to provide a gentle, geek-centric introduction to Getting Things Done, so that you can think about whether it might be right for you. It also gives you time to pick up your own copy of the book and get a feel for how David's system works. (You can support 43 Folders by buying the book from Amazon, but it's also up at ISBN.nu and, of course, on shelves at your local bookstore). You'll also eventually want to grab some of the other GTD essentials, like a ton of manila folders, a good label maker, and a big-ass garbage can. It's time to get your act together, hoss.
