Master Your Workday Now
Does anyone use Nirvana following the Master Your Workday Now by Michael Linenberger approach? I know Nirvana is designed specifically for GTD, and I'm still only 20% through the book, but I was curious what other thought about the approach and also how they were applying it to Nirvana if they are using that approach.

I've been using Michael Linenberger's system in Outlook (aka Total Workday Control) at work for a while now. I think it almost works too well because I have no excuses anymore for not getting work done. ;) I tried pure GTD for a couple years, but I have experienced Michael's approach to be much easier to implement and works better too for actually getting the right things done. I find it less stressful than GTD, and the weekly reviews are faster and easier too.
I just got my Nirvana account and am trying to see if it's usable for Workday-Now. So far the biggest issue is that new tasks get added at the bottom instead of the top, but there's another thread here that indicates that Nirvana will soon have an option to put new tasks at the top. Yeah! That's as far as I've gotten. I'm curious how it will handle Scheduled events and whether the FRESH prioritization scheme is going to work in Nirvana or not. Time will tell.

Nirvana is a GTD service and from my understanding, will remain so.
Once you understand GTD, it's very simple and extremely effective. I have no stress and mind like water.
I personally think that a majority of people complicate GTD and spend too much time thinking of what to do with their stuff rather than getting them done.
I take the simple approach of GTD and it's a stress free productivity machine for me.
