Getting Things Done® (GTD®) Getting Things Done (GTD) is a method for organizing tasks so that you can focus your entire energy and creativity on completing those tasks in a stress free manner. This method was developed by David Allen in his book, Getting Things Done. The main principle of GTD is that recording your tasks in a reliable way - using a system that you trust - will free your mind from trying to remember and prioritize stuff. This recaptured mental energy can be put towards being more productive and efficient. Collection The first step to GTD is collecting all of the information that is bouncing around in your head by getting it out of your mind. If you can express your ideas in words and record them outside of your head, your mind will have permission to no longer waste energy trying to remember them. Toodledo is the perfect collection bucket for this type of information. You will also want to have a physical in-basket to collect paper based materials. Processing Organization Doing Contexts

How Penultimate and Evernote Have Replaced My Pocket Notebook When I went paperless–now going on more than two years ago–I tried to go pretty much wholesale. There were the occasional pieces of paper I had to handle, but mostly I tried to do everything that I used to do on paper in digital form. The trickiest thing for me, back then, was converting my pocket notebook to digital format. Just about every writer I know these days carries around a Moleskine notebook to jot down thoughts or ideas. The more I went to conventions and hung around these other writers, the more I saw how useful and convenient it was to be able to scribble something down on paper. The mechanics of typing is different from writing longhand.While typing is great, and fast, sometimes I found I wanted to sketch out an idea, something I couldn’t easily do with keystrokes. The solution that I ultimately landed on was another Evernote tool: Penultimate. Penultimate allows you to create notebooks and sketch or write in them. Examples of things I capture in my Commonplace Book
Getting started with "Getting Things Done" This article was originally posted during the first week of 43 Folders' existence, and, pound for pound, it remains our most popular page on the site. Please be sure to also visit related pages, browse our GTD topic area, plus, of course you can search on GTD across our family of sites. I’ll be talking a lot here in coming weeks about Getting Things Done, a book by David Allen whose apt subtitle is “The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.” Like I did the other day with Quicksilver, I wanted to provide a gentle, geek-centric introduction to Getting Things Done, so that you can think about whether it might be right for you. The Problem with “stuff” Getting Things Done succeeds because it first addresses a critical barrier to completing the atomic tasks that we want to accomplish in a given day. Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. So how does GTD work? This is a really summarized version, but here it is, PowerPoint-style: GTD is geek-friendly So what next?
The Best Email App for GTD®, Productivity and Inbox Zero! GTD (Getting Things Done) – S'organiser pour réussir Phrase-résumée de « Getting Things Done – S’organiser pour réussir » : Pour être efficace, il est nécessaire d’avoir l’esprit clair comme de l’eau de roche ; pour cela il faut le désencombrer de toutes ses pensées parasites qui viennent nous distraire en permanence, ce qu’il est possible de faire en plaçant dans un système externe automatisé toutes les choses que nous devons ou voulons faire, pour décharger notre cerveau de l’obligation d’y penser – chose qu’il fait mal, sans aucune gestion des priorités et sans la conscience du moment propice pour le faire. Par David Allen, 272 pages, publié en 2001. Titre original : Getting Things Done : The Art of Stress-Free Productivity Imaginez ce que vous pourriez faire si vous pouviez choisir de vous consacrer pleinement à vos tâches, sans la moindre interruption, pensée parasite, rêverie et autre source de distraction, tout en restant détendu et en pleine possessions de vos moyens. Le rêve, non ? Première partie : L’art de bien faire les choses
Scription: Scription Chronodex Weekly Planner 2012 - free download with the cost of a prayer This article below is the jump start of the Chronodex movement. You can read all the details here, but I strongly suggest you to take a peek at what's going on in these communities: Finally made up my mind to create my own diary for 2012 a week ago, here I go sharing with you all! Thanks to my Dad's dedication to Chinese painting and art, I had my implicit training early in life and became a visual person yet unafraid to look deep into the subject matters. Since the beginning of the diary making business, every single diary is made by representing time in fixed grids. Come to think of it, the paper which makes up a diary originated from trees, when the sheets of paper are bound together in the middle, it is almost like foliages stemming from a tree's trunk. You may argue that this format is still slicing time into blocks and far from the fractal nature, but soon as you start using it, you will find that time is no longer rigid, instead you will find fluidity through free notations.
Why Nozbe Is Still My Favorite Task Management System I have been using task-management software since the late 90s, when I first installed a program developed by Franklin-Covey. Since then, I have tried almost every system available, including Things, Remember the Milk, OmniFocus, Midnight Inbox, iGTD, Wunderlist, and many more. But the one I have used for more than four years is Nozbe. In my view, nothing else comes close. The company just released a new desktop version (both Windows and Mac), which I have been beta-testing for the past few months. If you are looking for a task management software tool—or are tired of the limitations of the one you have—here are eight reasons you should consider Nozbe: It follows the GTD methodology. The more I use Nozbe, the more I am impressed. The app itself is free. or upgrade to a self-hosted WordPress blog?
» Weekly Review: Key to GTD and achieving goals By Leo Babauta David Allen says that if you are not doing your weekly review, you are not doing GTD. I agree completely, and I’d like to add to that: if you are not reviewing your goals weekly, you are not focused on achieving your goals. Every GTDer has put off the weekly review, sometimes for several weeks at a time. Every GTDer has felt the guilt of not doing the weekly review. Every GTDer, to live up to that title, needs to get back on the wagon and do the weekly review! It is the key to the system. In GTD, you capture everything, and process it, and use context lists for your next-actions … but things still slip through the cracks. A weekly review doesn’t have to take long if you do three things: process your inboxes on a daily basis, so you don’t have a huge pile of stuff waiting for you; set aside time dedicated to the weekly review, and clear aside all distractions; andreally focus on getting the review done quickly and completely. Here are the basic steps to a weekly review:
