Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

Leo has compiled a tremendous post at ZenHabits with answers to many of the questions that newcomers have to the Getting Things Done practice.

This is one of the big questions that we see all over the place:

Is GTD a cult? Why is it so popular on the Internet?

GTD is often accused of having a cult-like status, but in truth it just inspires a lot of passion. Why? First of all, because of the feeling of getting your desk cleared and your inboxes to empty. Seriously, as I said above, this is an amazing, awesome feeling. Second, because of the simple power of concepts like next actions, context lists and the weekly review — they are not anything complicated, but they work extremely well, and people love that.

Third, because of the open-source nature of the tools — this is what gets so many geeks. They love being able to use their favorite gadget, or computer program, or show off their programming skills by just using an automated text file, or the textile feeling of a good pen on good paper. It’s all about individual pleasures, and setting up your cool tools to create a setup that works for you. It’s the geek in us that loves GTD.
