Getting Things Done

I'm looking at some organizational tools, and I'm seriously considering jumping onto the Getting Things Done bandwagon. There's lots of neat tools, and it really appeals to me as I love to make lists, and the GTD system is all about lists and categorizations. I'm not really much into systems, but if I can make it work on a simple level, then I will be happy.

One of the best web sites for GTD info is called 43Folders, a reference, it turns out, to the GTD idea of having 43 folders to file stuff in - 31 Daily and 12 Monthly ones. In the Comments for his "Hipster PDA" (a loose collection of 3x5 cards), he talks about a great way to break out of a boring conversation:

I like to carry a single playing card in my wallet. Often the 8 of clubs.

If I get stuck in a conversation that�s going nowhere, I�ll furrow my
brow like I�m trying to remember something, whip out my wallet and,
with a flourish, produce the 8 and ask in a very loud, arrogant voice:

Was this your card?

Always kills.
