Michael Elgan over at Datamation has a very interesting post intended to introduce busy executives to the practice of GTD. While some of what he recommends differs from the strict approach to GTD that die-hard adherents choose, clearly, he has developed a system that works for him and by extension could help out the typical busy executive who hasn’t had the benefit of GTD or even read the book for that matter.

In fact, Michael appeals to readers of his post that they promise to go out and buy themselves a copy of David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” if his tips make a difference in their work flow. Having had the benefit of seeing just how much even applying the basics of GTD to how I handle email, I believe that the number of people buying copies of David’s book ought to equal the number of people that read the post and do what Mike suggests; after all who could fail to notice an improvement even partially following David’s principles?<!–more–>
