In our recent review of the GTD Implementation Guide, I made mention of a category of GTDer that is “on their way to black belt,” and I’ve been asked to elaborate on what that means. My goal in this update is to shed some light on black belt from my perspective, but more importantly share with you some resources that have helped paint the picture of what a GTD black belt looks like.

Yesterday the GTD Staff at David Allen Company announced the availability of the new GTD Implementation Guide. If you’re like us, you’re thinking “I wish this would have come out about 14 months ago…” since you’ve been on a journey of implementation since then. We feel your pain. In fact, that’s the main reason this site exists, as a resource to help you find the best way to implement Getting Things Done into your lifestyle. Better late than never? Without a doubt.

“I want to use GTD in my workflow. How do I decide what system is right for me?” Our hope is that this site will make that as simple as possible. However, before you can determine what tools will best support your system, it is important to understand the thought process behind setting up a system that will work best for you.
