Get Things Done Method
What is the get things done method?
Getting Things Done (GTD) is a popular task management system created by productivity consultant David Allen1. The methodology is based on a simple truth: The more information bouncing around inside your head, the harder it is to decide what needs attention1.
Capture Everything: Capture anything that crosses your mind. Nothing is too big or small! These items go directly into your inboxes1.
Clarify: Process what you’ve captured into clear and concrete action steps. Decide if an item is a project, next action, or reference1.
Organize: Put everything into the right place. Add dates to your calendar, delegate projects to other people, file away reference material, and sort your tasks1.
Review: Frequently look over, update, and revise your lists1.
The key to GTD isn’t the specific tools you choose but rather the habits you employ on a daily basis to think about and prioritize your work1. With GTD, you’ll no longer worry about forgetting a deadline or missing an important task. Instead, you’ll be able to respond to incoming information calmly and prioritize your time confidently1.
So why not give it a try? It might just be the productivity boost you’ve been looking for! 😊
