The GTD Prayer

For those of you who are into David Allen’s Getting Things Done system, the “life hacks” sites 43 Folders and Lifehacker or any of the other approaches to actually getting stuff done in your life, here’s gilest.org’s GTD Prayer:

Our lifehacks, which art in contexts,

Inbox zero be thy aim.

Thy Kinkless done.

Thy Mind Sweep fun, in @work as it is in @honeydo.

Give us this day our next action.

And forgive us our open loops, as we forgive those who delete our email.

And lead us not into web surfing.

Deliver us from IM.

For thine is the Moleskine, the Project and the Due Date

For someday/maybe,

Allen.
