What is Getting Things Done?
Getting Things Done (GTD) is a productivity methodology created by David Allen. It's a proven system for managing your personal and professional life by capturing, organizing, and prioritizing tasks.
The 5 Stages of GTD
- Capture: Collect everything that has your attention into an "inbox."
- Process: Decide what to do with each item in your inbox.
- Organize: Put items into the right categories (e.g., Projects, Next Actions, Waiting For, Reference).
- Review: Regularly review your system to ensure it's still working for you.
- Engage: Choose what to work on based on context, time, energy, and priorities.
Key Concepts
- Contexts: "Where" you are (e.g., @Home, @Office, @Errands).
- Next Actions: The very next physical action you need to take for each project or task.
- Projects: Any outcome you want to achieve.
