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[2][3][5].
The Art of Laziness
Overcome Procrastination & Improve Your Productivity
Oliver Luke Delorie
This book approaches procrastination with humor and empathy, encouraging readers to examine their habits and thought patterns. It reframes laziness as a behavior that can be understood and overcome, offering practical techniques and tools such as time management strategies and mindfulness techniques to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
In this Skills Lab, we take a deep dive into the Reflect step in the GTD workflow. With quizzes, exercises, and practice scenarios, this will be a valuable opportunity to fine-tune your GTD practice.
