		<description>For implementing GTD you might try out this web-based application:

http://www.gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use 
checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.

Hope you like it.</description>

		<description>I think like an industrial engineer when it comes to habits -- if you can't see it, it doesn't exist, in other words.

Habits of behavior are tangible, visible and observable.  They are plain to see, and require no judgment.

e.g. smoking, scratching, spitting... are all habits when repeated often.

So is brushing one's teeth, combing one's hair, and putting on underwear each day.

I don't think of the following as habits, because they fail the "behavior test."
-- being nice, working hard, sleeping too much, being smart...

They all involve evaluations and interpretations, that lead to all sorts of trouble.

When I started looking for observable habits, or practices, residing within ALL time management systems I came up with the 11 that I describe in this blog.

While a change in thinking is useful sometimes, it's not _necessary_ to be effective, IMHO.  In other words, someone who developed their own system on their own would need to change their thinking to do so, necessarily.

The rest of us would have to, however!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the stimulating push-back - always welcome.

I'd like to see your definition of habits. I think of them as permanent significant behavioral changes that require time to form deeply.

To create my list, I thought about what changes in thinking people had to make to adopt the system. It is draft one - I'd love to see your complete/edited list - another post, perhaps?

Which are 'real' habits? Let me think... Nope - all are habits ;-) I do agree with you re: EFFECTIVE_PROCESSING.</description>
