The GTD methodology (Getting Things Done) methodology is a personal productivity system that is valid and appropriate for everyone, but there are certain professions, jobs, and ways of working and living in which it is essential to be able to organize oneself efficiently.

The last stage of the Getting Things Done methodology workflow is called Engage, and it is when you take advantage of all the organizational work you have done in the previous stages to make effective decisions about what to do at any given moment.

We have seen how you can transform all the to-dos in your life into a set of perfectly organized reminders in a trusted system. We could say that the first three stages of the GTD methodology workflow form the “organizational apparatus” of the method:

In the previous article we saw how to do the transformation process that allows you to give a category to each of the items you have previously captured, according to their nature and what you want to do about them: trash, someday/maybe, reference material, action, project. This transformation process is called Clarify within the GTD methodology.

Okay, you’ve already captured a lot of things that need your attention. The next step to properly manage your commitments is to determine the exact meaning of everything that has come up in the capture phase. In the GTD methodology, this second stage is called Clarify.
