Kaufman: Here are 10 big ideas from David Allen’s Getting Things Done…
1. If your day-to-day life is out of control, it’s almost impossible to think strategically or plan effectively.
2. Define what being ‘done’ looks like.
3. Mental work has five distinct phases: Collect, Process, Organize, Do, and Review
4. Get everything out of your head.
5. Projects and tasks are two different things: track them separately.
6. Focus on the Next Action required to move forward.
7. Use the ’2 Minute Rule’ for small tasks.
8. Use Reference and Someday/Maybe files for things that have no immediate next actions.
9. Build a trusted system that helps you keep track of your commitments.
10. Schedule non-negotiable time for a Weekly Review.
Bonus tip: developing an effective personal productivity system takes time and experimentation.

For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application: GTDagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
Comes with a mobile version too, and with an Android app.
