WHAT IS GTD?
GETTING THINGS DONE® is a personal productivity methodology that redefines how you approach your life and work.
THE FUNDAMENTALS
Five clear steps that apply order to chaos.


CAPTURE
Write, record, or gather any and everything that has your attention into a collection tool.


CLARIFY
Is it actionable? If so, decide the next action and project (if more than one action is required). If not, decide if it is trash, reference, or something to put on hold.


ORGANIZE
Park reminders of your categorized content in appropriate places.


REFLECT
Update and review all pertinent system contents to regain control and focus.


ENGAGE
Use your trusted system to make action decisions with confidence and clarity.
Being creative, strategic, and simply present and loving don’t require time—they require space.
