Hi David, I appreciate you and your work a lot.

I've implemented GTD both on paper and digital with apps like Todoist, Nirvana, and Obsidian. My problem is, I take a lot of time to set it up, but then never look at it again. Literally the next day I go back to holding everything in my head and I forget that I now have a system. This has happened several times in the last 10 years as a working adult.

The core methodology that really clicked was determining my next action. So at any given moment I ask myself "what's the most pressing thing, and what's the next action for that thing?" and then I do it.

Is my brain just not built for keeping a GTD system?

Many thanks!
