WHAT IS GTD?
GETTING THINGS DONE® is a personal productivity methodology that redefines how you approach your life and work.
FIVE STEPS
THE FUNDAMENTALS
Five clear steps that apply order to chaos.
STEP 1
CAPTURE
Collect what has your attention
Write, record, or gather any and everything that has your attention into a collection tool.
STEP 2
CLARIFY
Process what it means
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.
STEP 3
ORGANIZE
Put it where it belongs
Park reminders of your categorized content in appropriate places.
STEP 4
REFLECT
Review frequently
Update and review all pertinent system contents to regain control and focus.
STEP 5
ENGAGE
Simply do
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.
