Why ?

we already use Todo list in different forms 

Why are we stressed?

  •  Perception of having ‘Too much to handle and not the time to get it all done
    •  Take on too many commitments 
    •  Having too many ideas 
    •  Too much involvement 
    •  Changing jobs with ever-changing Know-how to grasp 
  •  Too many distractions – no appropriate focus possible 
  •  Ineffective personal organizational systems creating huge subconscious resistance – loose ends

It’s All in Our Mind

Key elements
Control
Perspective

Incompletes and Open Loops pull our attention

What is GTD?

"Getting things done"

What is GTD?

It’s an Action Management Method – we do not Manage Projects or Tasks – we manage actions!

A Time Management System

Complements our inefficient “Mental Reminder System” – clean up all loose end

Your ability to generate power is directly proportional to your ability to concentrate.

Your ability to concentrate is directly proportional to your ability to eliminate distractions

Step 1. Capture

Get all the staff out of our mind and put those inside Inbox

Step 2. Process

If Not Now When?

  • Start at top
  • Deal with one item at a time
  • If an item requires action
    • Do it (if it takes less than two minutes)
    • Delegate it, or defer it.

 

  • If not
    • File it for reference
    • Throw it away, or
    • Incubate it for possible action later

Delegate it or defer it

If Not Me Who?

Step 3. Organize

  • Next Actions
  • Someday/Maybe
  • Waiting 
  • Projects  
  • Trash
