Category: “Getting Things Done - GTD”

Most of the time you will not be able to achieve your purpose all at once. A great deal of the results you want or need to achieve will require more than one action. The larger the project, the more difficult it will be to foresee how many and which actions will be necessary.

Are you looking to improve your productivity, get more done in less time and, at the same time, have a more satisfying and relaxed life? Then you may want to consider adopting the Getting Things Done methodology.

David Allen wrote the book Getting Things Done. The Art of Stress-Free Productivity in 2001 and it quickly became the handbook of personal productivity best practices par excellence.

A common question people have when they hear about the GTD methodology and start to consider it as a possible option to organize themselves better and work more effectively, is “how much time will I need?”

One of the reasons GTD has achieved great recognition as a personal productivity system is that it doesn’t reduce our daily activity to a simple set of tasks to be marked as done. That’s oversimplified. Although being productive is about getting more done with as little effort as possible, we aren’t machines. We’re human beings, and our actions must respond to something deeper.
