DIT (Do It Tomorrow) is a methodology developed by Mark Forster (in the UK). It is quite similar to GTD. It is also one of the "non-time-management" methodologies (not based on time scheduling), but differs from GTD in many of its details:
1) In DIT you do decide in advance what you will do today and make it a matter of honor to stick to that exactly. If you can foresee that you will have certain "types of unforeseeable" things to deal with, then at least commit to doing those types of things (e.g. customer service).
2) You always have a "Current Initiative" defined, a task or project that you will move ahead with first thing every single day.
3) When you you pick "next actions" (so to speak), you do this in a way which ensures that you get "old" tasks attended to.
4) He spends a lot of effort describing why and how it is OK to move ahead even just a bit with each task, and then how to place it back at the end of the list.
Mark Forster also have the mini-methodologies Autofocus and Final Version, which focus on slightly differnt ways to select next actions from the list.
