Tag: “Basic GTD”

Capturing is the first phase of your personal organization system, in which you try to capture all your incompletes and stuff in one location: your Inbox (not to be confused with the e-mail inbox).

In GTD, the Calendar is used in a very different way than in other traditional time management systems.

It is impossible to reach the state of relaxed control that GTD promises if there are things that only exist in your head. Thinking about the same thing several times is an inefficient way to spend your time and energy, as well as a source of stress.

You do not manage time. If you have five minutes available, no matter what you do, you will not end up with six.

The Weekly Review is a time that GTDers dedicate to our personal organization every week. More specifically, it is a time we spend to restore our balance, ensuring that everyday urgencies will not impose their law and, therefore, we are always working on what is actually important.
