When I first started my disjointed series on Getting Things Done for WRITERS a few weeks ago, I struggled with the sequence in which I would present several resources I’ve found and liked.  I decided finally to just present them in the order in which I found them.

First is NOZBE, an online application to keep you organized.  It turns out that blogger John Kendrick has discovered it too,  John has just finished a five-part series about Nozbe in its various flavours.  His presentation is so clear and thorough, I won’t provide much explanation here.  Just visit John’s TOUR OF NOZBE.

However, I suggest that you also visit the Nozbe home page.  [Be careful with your spelling or you will arrive at a directory of porn sites!]  You will find there enough explanatory and tutorial information that you will walk away with a good overview of the GTD methodology.  Especially useful is the 10-Step Simply Getting Things Done Course, a series of free tutorial videos.  This is a great place to start.

You can sign up for Nozby for free and track up to five projects without paying a penny.  If that’s not enough, you can upgrade to the Solo Account, which supports 100 projects for a very reasonable fee ranging from $7.50 down to $3.50 a month [it's more expensive paid month-to-month, less so if paid a year or two in advance].

I suspect once you visit this site and also go through Kendrick’s tour, you will understand why GTD may be particularly helpful to writers.  I’ve looked all over the web, and these are about the best explanations of GTD out there.  The related articles below are very informative as well.

    Tom – thanks so much for the mention and link for my blog. Your post is concise and has some great links for GTD'rs. And I definitely agree, writers will benefit greatly from implementing a GTD system.

    I know, because one of my primary tasks in projects for a large local government supporting technology training for 10,000 employees is writing technical documentation and training manuals. I am working on over a dozen active training development projects at any given time, some with hundreds of task by the time they are completed. And I have used Nozbe everyday since discovering the application in March of this year. It has definitely improved my productivity, and relieved lots of stress.

    I've written several posts that provide details about my experiences with GTD and the applications I use on my blog at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/how-to-gtd/

    Thanks again, I really appreciate it! John
