Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Implementation Notes

• Capture all tasks and ideas in one place. Use a reliable system for gathering information to ensure nothing is missed.
• Regularly process the collected information. Determine what requires action and what can be deferred or deleted.
• Organize tasks by categories and contexts. This helps quickly find necessary information and focus on current priorities.
• Plan regular reviews. Weekly reviews help stay on top of all tasks and adjust plans as needed.
• Define clear and specific next steps for each task. This reduces uncertainty and facilitates task completion.
• Break large projects into smaller, manageable parts. This helps avoid overload and increases motivation.
• Use the calendar only for fixed events. Do not overload it with tasks that do not have specific completion times.
• Focus on the current task. Avoid multitasking to increase efficiency and quality of work.
• Regularly update and review your system. This helps maintain its relevance and effectiveness.
• Develop the habit of finishing what you start. This builds confidence and increases productivity.
