I can’t express how similarly I feel.

I only wish I had started GTD before college, and not after. I would have actually done homework instead of getting overwhelmed by all the commitments. I would get so anxious and put so much off till the last minute that my quality would drop off at the end of the semester. It would have been a difference between a solid B and a straight A’s.

The anxiety of my life disappears whenever I use the GTD system. Keeping track of my commitments and allowing myself to forget about them (since they are in my trusted system) means I am no longer an anxious wreak. I finally feel like I can actually unwind!

I can’t wait to use it in my future job. The whole thing gives me such confidence in my life, I feel like I can take on the world, one project at a time.

Word to the wise: if you are using a digital GTD setup, make sure that “Setup Backup System” is a vital project. Also, don’t forget to add “test backup system” to your tickler file… You won’t regret it.
