GTD-Free is a new, platform independent piece of freeware based on GTD.  I first saw reference to the application on WebTechPoint, a website dedicated to bringing readers up to date information on software and hardware along with useful tips and assorted “how to” information.  It’s a useful site.

GTD-Free looks interesting.  The application strives to be lightweight and is only 1.42 megs in size (it’s a Java Application: you’ll need Java 1.6 in order for it to work).

The author of the post claims that this application follows David’s GTD methodology closely however I noticed several key differences without even trying the application; namely that there are priorities added and that contexts are absent.  In other respects, however, it does appear to be structurally well thought out and according the post has a pretty quick leaning curve.

I tried to do a quick install to play with it but it isn’t liking my Mac at the moment so I haven’t had the opportunity to play with it myself.  If an intrepid reader wants to test this out and write a review for GTDtimes I’ll find something fun in my GTD gift box for whomever gets a review in to me first.  Send it to:

editor at GTDtimes dot com.  Thanks.

There’s a lot more detail in a post over at FreeWareGenius.com - which, as the name implies, has plenty of free applications for you to check out just in case you’ve already managed to get everything done and have nothing better to do.

I on the other hand am buried reading entries for the Free Day of Exenutive Workflow Coaching compliments of the David Allen Company and GTDtimes.  If you haven’t entered yet what are you waiting for?  You’ve only got a day left before the entry deadline expires and you can’t win if you don’t play.
