My weekly (sometimes biweekly) review is crucial. My GTD lets me describe my project goals in a description at the top of my task list, so that may be something like your Friday review as I often add to or change it as the project evolves, changes responsibility, timing, priority, etc. My system lets me see my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/more-getting-things-done/ John I agree with Marcin.

Although the concept of drawing the result seems to be a good addition to it. The thing that really changed my workflow was NextActions from GTD. However, I noticed (while using RTM) that it's important to see less NAs rather than more. RTM was not very helpful with that (their tagging feature is very flexible, but not very ergonomic), so I switched to Nozbe lately (disclaimer: I privately now Nozbe's founder - Michael Sliwinski). Bottom line: the biggest improvement for me is having less to do on my plate - it looks easier to bite and helps my focus. Mike, you’re a surprisingly good reporter, for an IT guy ;)
