Build a personal productivity system using GTD's five stages — Capture, Clarify, Organise, Reflect, Engage — so the mind is free to work rather than remember.
Build a personal productivity system using GTD's five stages — Capture, Clarify, Organise, Reflect, Engage — so the mind is free to work rather than remember.
Adopted by: Google, NASA, US military leadership programs, major consulting firms; GTD is the most widely implemented personal productivity system in knowledge work Impact: Allen: the mind is for having ideas, not holding them — every open loop held in memory consumes cognitive resources; externalising to a trusted system produces measurable reductions in stress and increases in creative throughput
Why best: GTD works because it addresses the root cause of overwhelm: incomplete agreements with yourself. Each uncaptured task is an open loop draining background attention. The system closes loops by placing every commitment in a defined location with a defined next action, making it possible to engage with the present without anxiety about what might be forgotten.
Capture: Meeting note says "sort out the server issue" → into inbox
Clarify: Is it actionable? Yes → next action: "email DevOps team asking for AWS cost report by Friday"
Organise: Added to @computer list; "Server migration" added to project list
Engage: At desk with 30 minutes before next meeting → scan @computer list → find "email DevOps team" → do it
