Unless it's all written down, emptying the INBOX does not mean you took care of everything. Write it all down, then dump it in the INBOX. Get in the habit of writing down - stuff you're trying to remember is the origin of stress.Once a week is typical, but more often is not obsessive. If you have to do something at the office, no matter how important it is, you can't do it while you're at home. Tasks (next actions) have no priority - you don't do the important stuff first, you do the stuff you can do right now first.Don't plan too far ahead - plans don't survive battle.Even when you're doing nothing, it's not restful unless you know what you're not doing. When the INBOX and the NextActions list are empty - you got nothing to do.There is no time management - you can't manage a day into 25 hours.2 Minute Rule = if a next action takes less than 2 minutes to complete, do it instead of entering it into todo.PROJECT Next Action = the answer to this question "if I spent today trying to achieve the goal of this project, what would I do first?".
PROJECT = a goal + the actions required to achieve said goal.All stuff in the INBOX gets processed to one of 7 destinations: TRASH | SOMEDAY/MAYBE | REFERENCE | NEXT ACTIONS | PROJECT | WAITING FOR | CALENDAR.Once an item in the INBOX is looked at, it doesn't go back into the INBOX.All stuff (appointments, memos to read, emails, voice mail, bills, etc = work) gets collected into an INBOX.The original text has since been updated in a second edition to reflect workflows in computers.Ī BRIEF AND VERY SUBJECTIVE SUMMARY OF GTD PRINCIPLES: These concepts were so influential that virtually all Todo applications available today reflect GTD in some way. Regardless of the implements used, exigencies of work and juggling responsibilities remain largely unchanged, and the concepts described in GTD remain salient. The original GTD book described a pen and paper organization system and many implementations on computers have been developed since. GTD is a set of productivity principles and methodology set forth by David Allen in his book, Getting Things Done.
