Dymo LabelManager Review – GTD Heaven

Yep, that’s the way to reach GTD nirvana. Do the actions on your lists. Don’t fuss with moving them around. Don’t try a new system every week. Just do it!

Use Post-It Notes for GTD Collection
Do you keep a pad of post-it notes on your desk? If not, you’re missing out on a useful productivity tool.
