Getting Things Done® (GTD®) Is a whole workflow ecosystem invented by David Allen to control your day and bring you calm. Think! What do people usually do, when they have a few tasks they most do today, or else? Some would hang up a note in front of them, GTD will place all your tasks in front of you (when you need them), by having a complete and current inventory of all your projects/tasks, organized and reviewed systematically, so you can focus clearly, and make trusted choices about what to do (and not do) at any moment. GTD embodies an easy, step-by-step highly efficient method for achieving a relaxed and productive state, as follows:
-
CAPTURE or Collect all tasks in a trusted system
-
CLARIFY Next actions and successful outcomes
-
ORGANIZE tasks into categories (Lists), based on how, where, and when you will work on it
-
Waiting For tasks that you are waiting for other people before you can continue
-
-
Next Actions any task that is Actionable now and not dated, optionally could be categorized by context i.e. Office, Job site, Car, Calls, PC
- Next Action without Due Date sample
- Next Action with Due Date sample

-
Projects/Sub-Projects (parent sub-tasks)
-
Someday Maybe (Later)
-
Project Support Material (Tag)
-
-
