+Quickie overview of the GTD system
+==================================
+
+GTD is a system for managing your life: what you want to achieve,
+how you plan to achieve that, and how you deal with all the stuff life
+throws at you. You decide goals, the system helps you reach them.
+
+FIGURE: FIXME: A flowchart that shows the flow of "stuff" through one's life.
+Allen's books have such a flowchart, but we'll need our own.
+
+A condensed summary of GTD:
+
+* stuff enters your life, and you either deal with it immediately, or put it
+  in one or more inboxes
+* you empty your inboxes regularly from stuff
+* stuff is dealt with by one of the following:
+  - do it at once (if it's quick, or you have to, or really want to)
+  - defer it for later
+  - delegate it to someone else
+  - file it somewhere (if you may need it later)
+  - discard it (ignore it, throw it in a trash bin, whatever)
+* keep several lists:
+  - next actions: deferred stuff
+  - projects: anything that needs more than one next action to be finished
+  - waiting for: delegated stuff
+* at least once a week, process all inboxes, and review all lists
+
+You may now skip the rest of the book.
