An early gift for any of you do-it-yourself organisational junkies
looking for a fix: I'm pleased to announce version 1.0 of my DIY
Planner system. It contains quite a number of fixes, a better look,
lots more instructions, and a few new templates from the earlier beta
versions.

After a bit of consideration, I dropped the "GTD" from the title.
Although the emphasis is still certainly on GTD, I can't really call it
GTD when there are so many templates and concepts that you wouldn't
find mentioned in the David Allen books. The GTD stuff is still there,
and the instructions make use of the methodologies, but there's also
Covey, Day Runner and even a few of my own ideas creeping into the mix.
In short, there should be enough flexibility built into them for your
own particular circumstances, whether that's GTD or not.

Any other ideas for templates, please feel free to leave comments on my
blog announcement entry, and I'll see what I can do.
