Getting Things Done

Book • 2001
Getting Things Done (GTD) is a personal productivity system developed by David Allen.

The book provides a detailed methodology for managing tasks, projects, and information, emphasizing the importance of capturing all tasks and ideas, clarifying their meaning, organizing them into actionable lists, reviewing the system regularly, and engaging in the tasks.

The GTD method is designed to reduce stress and increase productivity by externalizing tasks and using a trusted system to manage them.

The book is divided into three parts, covering the overview of the system, its implementation, and the deeper benefits of integrating GTD into one's work and life.
