How I did it
It made me
super joyful happy 
How I did it: The first time I saw Barack Obama was back in March, 2007. I had a feeling he would be president someday, but obviously it wasn't certain. The people were involved in the political process, and it worked! Read how I did it…

ZTD is sort of a modified, simplified GTD. The ebook has some excellent points, but it’s not really my style. Some people find GTD unstructured, particularly in the “doing” phase. For those people, ZTD is probably better. Also, ZTD would be good for those who find GTD just a little too much to tackle at once. In ZTD, you phase it in over a period of months, one habit at a time.
