@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?

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.

I’m with you on the audiobooks. I find that they keep my mind occupied while I’m running, particularly fiction. It’s much easier to pound out the miles on the treadmill if I’m not constantly staring at the distance counter or the Olympian running next to me. I haven’t been in much of a health phase recently, thus I haven’t “read” anything in a while, but I’ve found that the local library and Half Price Books are both excellent sources when I’m in the mood.

I tried listening to them on my commute, but I get a bit too immersed and don’t concentrate on my driving.

Audiobooks: good. While driving: no so much.
