Ask a GTD aficionado how he learned how to Get Things Done and you're likely to get a variety of answers. The fact is that each of us learns differently, although there is research to indicate that adults:
I first read David Allen's Getting Things Done in 2002. On my way home from work each day, I would stop in a shopping center parking lot and knock off a chapter or two. It worked for me. Neat book, I thought at the time.
