Even though not specifically designed for GTD, it's easily customizable. I just created one list for the "now" items, and one for the "later" items. I am trying to use the tags to categorize them.

Regarding your question, I do not know any tool that combines both approaches from a feature standpoint. I think it has more to do with the specific methodology you adopt when using any tool you like, especially when it comes down to the issue of important vs. urgent prioritization.

I have read GTD, and am trying to practice David Allen's basic concepts, like the collection habit, outcome-based and next action thinking. But I find it bit difficult to remain focused. Another great tool, which is used extensively, is Google Reader, as it helps me staying updated with views from great thinkers like you and many more. I am also a great fan of Soundview summaries, especially their MP3 version. I listen to them while driving back to the office. Another concept which I try to practice is important vs. urgent, but here I again find it difficult to remain focused. Have you seen any tools that combine the important vs. urgent concept from Stephen Covey, and the next action concept from David Allen? By the way, if you want to read summaries of many business books, you can do it free of charge courtesy BEA System. Visit this <a href="http://www.bea.com/it2it/portals/index.jsp">site</a> and register your self.
