             @marialangat
TOO MUCH STUFF
Unfinished tasks and unfulfilled
commitments cause most of your
        everyday stress
What is GTD?


Incredibly
practical process
that can help
busy people
regain control of
their lives
Getting Things Done

Action & Time Management System

All about Front-end Planning

Complements our inefficient “Mental
 Reminder System”
The Matrix of Self-Management

5 Stages of Mastering Workflow
            Collection


           Processing


           Organizing


            Reviewing


              Doing
1. Collect

First thing to do is Write it down

Empty everything out of your head and
 into your “bucket”...
2. Process

Start at the top, one item at a time

Never put anything back to ‘in’

Decide What is the next step?
3. Organize

Projects and Actions

Put everything in its place

There are many tools, Keep it Simple
4. Review

Decide the Most important thing
 to be doing right now, and do it.

At least once a week, review and reorganise
5. Do it!

By keeping your head clear, keeping your
  to-do lists organised, and your projects
 under review, you’ll find it much easier to
            actually DO things!

BUT REALLY, HOW?
Workflow Examples
1.   Email: Newsletter from iHub
2.   Email: Can you recommend a hotel?
3.   Meeting: JIRA Issues
4.   Class: Here is your term paper topic.
5.   Home: Child sick
6.   Talk: Investment opportunity

     How would you step through the GTD
           workflow for the above?
My Personal GTD Tools

   Gmail + GTD
   Notebook – “bucket”
   Diary – Daily Lists
   Excel – project plan
TAKE -AWAYS
Write it down

What is the next step?

Keep it Simple

Most important thing

DO
