On the computer, there's a plethora of possibilities (org, notational velocity, "quake terminal" with editor), of course.
Emacs Org-Mode, along with its org-capture mode and the ability to clock in/out, is a perfect tool to implement this, btw. https://emacs.cafe/emacs/orgmode/gtd/2017/06/30/orgmode-gtd.... http://orgmode.org/worg/org-gtd-etc.html
I tried GTD way back when in the heady Merlin Mann days, but never got a capture-anywhere method that I liked. Hipster PDAs were out due to me writing with pens isn't exactly enjoyable/readable, and I get tired easily by my slow mobile typing speed, too. And voice notes while among other people? I'm a German introvert, goshdarnit... On the computer, there's a plethora of possibilities (org, notational velocity, "quak…
I've tried to implement GTD a couple of times before but I always fail when I end up with organised but huge lists of things to do, along with things that become irrelevant over time (time-contextual "could-do's") and getting snowed under by day-to-day maintenance chores. Has anyone had success implementing it, and if so, was there any trick or technique that helped it "click" for you? I also realise I might just be…

I was always curious about trying this, but has always been put off by the Emacs part of it. How much Emacs do you need to know to use this comfortably?

Each day, you have to copy our yesterday's list, and copy our the list afresh. While doing that, you can reorder, just do so you don't have to copy, or dump if it isn't going to get done (either into a long term text file, or just the bin).
I found that actively having to copy stopped my list accumulating things I know I should do, but probably never will.

While only a small part, I kept a list on paper. Each day, you have to copy our yesterday's list, and copy our the list afresh.

I have my own pdf and I just print it out.
