GTD - Get Things Done

So I've been merrily working on my to do list. It changes w/frequency, as it should. Here's what I've gotten done in the recent past:

• package and mail packages and letters
• return items to the store for a refund
• wash clothes
• apply for jobs (don't ask)
• grade a student's project
• pick up dry cleaning
• pick up altered jeans
• complete an in class assignment for students
• begin working on the CleveEvents list
• call ComCast re: establishing a wireless network
• review answering machine messages and return calls
• pay bills online
  

They are just little errands, but these things add up.

But I'd like to introduce you to the Getting Things Done (GTD) system. It's not something that I employ, but I'm doing my research and considering implementing this into my daily planning.

How'd the GTD info get on my radar? Listening to a segment on NPR's "All Things Considered".
