What’s the final goal of someone who wants to learn GTD (Getting Things Done) or any other method of personal organization? Surely, and even if sometimes they aren’t aware of it, it’s the same goal as anyone who wants to acquire a new skill or improve one that already has: Be better. Be better in some concrete aspect of their life or be better in general. Develop as a person.

Altough Getting Things Done is essentially an individual oriented management method, more and more organizations, companies and work teams are trying to incorporate the GTD culture among their members. It might seem obvious that, when each worker enjoys a sense of clarity and control with respect to their work, the collective result benefits to a large extent.

They know that mastering the management of oneself will help them have a greater control over their life, less stress, more time to enjoy what they like and the people they care about… And they know that this will impact almost every aspect of their life, and ultimately, of their overall happiness.
