Over the last few days I have been consolidating my GTD system,
fine tuning my files and understanding some of the subtleties
of the various org-mode features.

My tutorial is titled "How I use Emacs and Org-mode to implement GTD"

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/gtd_workflow.html

I demonstrate my use of Effort tags, column view, fast selection of
TODO states, refiling and customising refile targets.

I hope you find the tutorial useful, and please let me know any
errors, corrections or suggestions for additional content.

Thanks,
Charles Cave
