**A system of tools & techniques to accomplish work.** Getting Things Done (GTD) is a system of tools and practices devised, written about, and evhangelicalized by David Allen. The system is both surprisingly simple and robust. It's been used as a life management technique by everyone from people who run Fortune 100 Companies, to students, to the humble soccer mom. The [[GTD Workflow]] consists of: 1. **Capture** what has your attention 2. **Clarify** what it means and what to do about it 3. **Organize** the results, which presents options 4. **Reflect** on the options 5. **Engage** with a chosen path Each stage of the workflow has its own tools & techniques. "Proper" GTD would have you maintain 7 types of things to keep track of, and these 7 should be _separate_: 1. A project list 2. Project support material 3. Calendar actions & info 4. [[Next Actions List]] 5. A Waiting For list 6. Reference Material 7. A Someday/Maybe list # Core Components - [[Mind Sweep]] - [[Inbox]] - [[Project Lists]] - [[Open Action Lists]] - [[Someday, Maybe]] - A calendar & system of [[Contextual Reminders]] - [[Ongoing Capture]] - [[Weekly Review]] - [[2 Minute Rule of GTD]] **** ## Source - [[Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity]] ## Related - [[Action→Task→Project→Area Hierarchy]] - [[Open Loops]]
