- Capture anything and everything that has your attention ("stuff"), yes everything
- If it isn't something you can and want to take action on, then trash or file it
- Write down what the desired, final outcome is (goal)
- Write down a single, specific next action that will get you a small step towards the goal
- Set up reminders in a way that you trust completely
- Organize next actions based on when and where you can perform them
- Perform regular reviews of this system
GTD alleviates the feeling of overwhelm. With a complete and current inventory of all your commitments, organized and reviewed in a systematic way, with reminders you trust, you can focus clearly, and make choices about what to do (and not do) at any moment.
