Leo Babauta's Zen Habits is an offshoot of GTD and one of his mantras is:

One habit at a time.

He argues that GTD is very complex and we all try to adopt too many of the GTD habits all in one time. He suggests that we should focus on one habit and keep up the routine until it becomes second nature. Then work on the second habit for X days/weeks/months until that habit goes on auto-pilot.

I know that I tried to adopt GTD all in one shot and failed miserably. By focusing on one piece or one habit, I know that it will become ingrained in me over time and will last longer.

Kinda like kickin' the smoking habit..... One step at a time....
