Even the GTD experts falls behind with their system from time to time. Its more important that you get back into it as soon as possible than to implement it perfectly, even if that means getting back into it a small step at a time.
You are probably finding that some parts of your system is in operation all the time. I personally have the collection system operational at all times, even if I don't get around to processing for a couple of months! I find it does a much better job at keeping my head clear then without a proper collection system. Until I get around to processing, I use a ad hoc todo list.
Disclaimer: I'm no expert, in fact I've never fully implemented it myself at work or at home, but I am an avid reader of the blogs at
The David Allen Company .
