🪴 Getting Things Done

Book by: David Allen

a.k.a “GTD”

This is a time-management system.

I’ve read the book start to finish 2-3 times. I think that GTD is mostly a flow chart not a book. But the book may be necessary for you to fill in all the definitions and examples.

I use 80-90% of GTD every day for the past 10 years. I find the method incredibly helpful for me personally. I think the workflow and some of the concepts like next actions and inbox keep me less stressed. I also seem to get more things done relative to those around me.

The GTD method rests on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items. This allows one to focus attention on taking action on tasks, instead of on recalling them.1
