    For implementing GTD you might try out this web-based application:

    http://www.gtdagenda.com

    You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
    A mobile version and iCal are available too.

    Hope you like it.

    @Aaron - I haven't tried listening to audiobooks while I workout or run yet, but I agree with the concept that it makes it easier to stay focused running.
    What are some of the books you've listened to that you enjoyed?
