Another trick I’ve heard works for many people, myself included, is to keep a notebook by your bed and before you go to sleep write in it anything that’s bothering you or that you need to remember. Then make a concious decision not to think about that stuff again until morning and you’ll find it much easier to get to sleep. Works a charm for me anyway, I hope it helps :)

Before I started GTD, I had trouble getting to sleep because my mind was buzzing so much. I started keeping a notebook beside the bed, and writing down all the things that were popping up in my head. It worked pretty well – I think I was afraid I’d forget them while I was asleep, and having them written down was a relief.

When I read GTD, it seemed like a more reliable way of doing this that would cover my whole day instead of just the time before bed, which was what appealed to me about the system.
