Two big lessons of GTD (and majorly influencing many many other systems like basb, ztd, etc): - DO NOT read/peruse/etc on first inspection! Just add it to a list. - Collecting these items is not processing them which is not organization! Stop beating yourself up, and start running a system. You must set aside the time for the following: - Collect everything into some list. Links on the web you'd like to read is great for this - just get the title and the link. - Process that list into what it means to you! Is it a project? A task? A piece of reference material? Just fun stuff to read later that you don't want to commit to? etc - Organize those now processed items to where things belong. Projects/tasks, into your task manager. Reference material, into your reference filings. Fun stuff to read later? Just throw it on a "hey, read this when you're bored later" list using something like Instapaper, or evernote, or even a text file of links. Now you're cooking with gas. You get to peruse all these links that make you feel up to date, but you're spending maybe 5 mins just collecting them into a list to read whenever you have time later. "Do it tomorrow" is my mantra, and I can only be honest about that if I keep lists. My list is excessively long, and normally I try to comment/read comment threads the day after the post is made. However I had to comment that the emotions around these desires can be inspected, introspected, dissected, etc... or you can change the basic behavior into what you'd like - and skip some of the emotions all together. One of the most powerful things I learned with meditation: going through the "noticing and labeling" process, eventually leading to just noticing and labeling everything as "desires", and watching them float through the sky. Notice, label, and it'll slowly go away.
