Getting Things Done® can feel complex, but it's a simple method for managing your commitments and reducing stress. Here's how to start in five simple steps.
Anything that has your attention, big or small. Get it out of your head and into your Inbox so you don't have to worry about forgetting it.
Process your Inbox items one by one. Ask yourself: "Is this actionable?" If it is, decide the very next, single action required to move it forward.
Put things where they belong. Multi-step outcomes become Projects. Actions that require a specific tool or place get a Context.
Frequently look over your lists to keep your system current and trusted. This is your Weekly Review, and it’s the key to maintaining control.
Use your system to make trusted choices about what to do next. Filter your Actions by your current Context and get to work with confidence.
