On the surface, GTD can be a bit intimidating when trying to get started with it. You may have heard of the Getting Things Done system before (we’ve even got a special GTD method section on our website) but perhaps you aren’t sure how to implement it. In this post, we’ll show you how to reclaim control of your life and accelerate the GTD learning curve for you by covering the basics of GTD and walk you through a couple of examples so you can see how to apply it to your life. Implementing Getting Things Done can restore peace and tranquility as everything gets filed orderly into your trusted system instead of the disorder and chaos that comes from just responding to emergencies and putting out fires. Getting Things Done is more than time management. If you constantly feel overwhelmed, GTD’s central concept of capturing everything into a trusted system has the potential to revolutionize your life by providing you with more clarity, focus, control, and space to do your best work. It’s an effective system for clearing your mind of all inputs so you can focus on the things that are truly important, which in turn allows you to do your best work and get things done. The book describes Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity system. He is perhaps best known for his book, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. Author and speaker, David Allen, has been a champion of personal productivity since the early 1980’s. The David Allen Company is known around the world for helping people get things done. However, stress-free productivity does not have to be a dream. You have so much too much too do, and it all feels important. For some it may seem like it is out of reach. Getting Things Done is for anyone who has a busy life and wants to manage it with less stress.
