Getting Things Done

This podcast episode explains the five steps of GTD and much more:

Five Steps:

  1. Capture (collect whats on your mind)
    What do you have in your mind: What is actually on your mind, write this down and identify what you have on your mind. This usually takes 1 to 6 hours gathering all the physical information.
  2. Clarify (process what it means)
    Make files and lists and then empty your files, orders. This step is about outcome and action and making decisions.
  3. Organize (put it where it belongs)
    Clean up backlog (2 minute things); make psychic space, space for new ideas; define your work, not finish it; do not park mails; file things, action folder, reference folder. You need to have discipline
  4. Reflect: review frequently
  5. Engage: simply do
    Become a habit – train yourself, it is not really a skill.
