  As long as you're not wearing those cheap black Nikes with the white swoosh, I think you're in the clear.

  David Allen can't dance.

  This was the first time I'd heard of GTD, so I took a look at the flowchart. Isn't this just common sense - isn't this the way that normal people work?? Do you really need a flowchart and a $25 book to tell you this? If I have an email that comes in with a future deadline, I'll put in in my calendar. I don't need a nine-step map to tell me that. Likewise, I don't need to follow the outlined five-step path to confirm that I should delete the email from the Arabian prince who wants to send me a small fortune.

  GTD is a shift for most folks from time to action management. It's a great system, but it hasn't morphed my religious beliefs.

  David Allen himself professes that GTD is not rocket science, but merely "advanced common sense". I am a devoted user and have been for the last several years and it has kept my work and personal life more organized and less stressful.
  
  I have felt the money I have spent on his first two paperback books was money well spent.
  
  No one from David's company has ever asked me to drink any Kool-Aid and I am relatively confident that he keeps the two spheres of his life completely separate.

  Wow! If they can separate church and state, can we not separate spiritual choice from personal productivity?
  
  That being said, I have not idea what the "Movement for Inner Spritual Awareness" refers to; however, forget the "Movement for" for a moment and think about the rest of it. Now, what is this issue?
