Hello GTDers!
I've already read all of Part I, Chapters 4-6 fully, and Chapters 7 & 8 partially. Quite frankly I'm exhausted after reading all the chapters and I just want to start implementing the basics and parts of Part II, and then go back and read when I feel like I've mastered what's being said from Chapters 1-6. IOW, I just want to practice so that I can master GTD, then read once I feel that I've mastered whatever I'm focusing on. I do have thoughts about finishing the book but it won't be too soon to finish. I'd also like to know how each of you guys balances your professional & personal lives and reading + implementing GTD itself. I have plenty of projects that I should start right away. An example, My life will be consisted of part-time work, aiming towards getting a full-time job in a GIS/Geography-related major, etc.) so the chances of it'll take a while before I can read and implement and to a point where I've achieved my purpose listed below.
If you'd like to know more information on why I'm reading this book, I'm going to be using the first 2 steps of the Natural Planning Model discussed in Chapter 3. I could go in elaborate on the outcomes/visions part, but I just want to keep it short.

- Purpose: To be able to know GTD inside-out and live a fulfilling, orderly, and productive life.
- Outcomes/Visions:
- Learning to adapt to the information age and an ever-changing world by refining and updating my personal productivity system.
- Acquire the knowledge, experience, and skills picked up in this book that could transfer over other productivity system books that may pique my interest (Ex: Note-taking strategies like Zettelkasten, Books like Atomic Habits, etc.). I've even made a Projects List that focuses only on Productivity Skills in Asana!
- Be in a position where the balance of your personal and professional life has been maximized.
