Practices that may help
- Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical
David Allen’s GTD runs every commitment through five steps — capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage — so nothing lives in your head and you always know the next physical action. The core insight, that unfinished tasks held in memory create persistent mental load, is supported by cognitive research; GTD itself is a coherent practitioner system rather than a single tested protocol. - The two-minute rule
If a clarified action takes under two minutes, do it now instead of tracking it.
Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical - Engage: choose work from a clear mind
With everything captured and clarified, pick what to do now and do it fully present.
Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical - Organize actions by context
Group next actions by where, with what, or with whom they can be done.
Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical - The GTD Weekly Review
The GTD weekly review is a structured 1–2 hour practice recommended by David Allen in Getting Things Done: you clear your inboxes, review all active projects and next actions, update your lists, and regain what Allen calls "mind like water." Evidence that the full review improves outcomes is largely practitioner-reported; the underlying components — external capture systems, project-level reviews, and outcome clarification — are consistent with cognitive offloading and self-regulation research. - Run a weekly review
Once a week, process inboxes and review every project and list to keep the system trusted.
Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical - Clarify each item into a concrete next action
For every captured item, decide what it is and the very next physical action.
Getting Things Done (GTD), Made Practical - Clear every inbox to zero at the start of the review
Empty every capture point — email, physical inbox, notes app, voicemail — before reviewing anything.
The GTD Weekly Review - Align daily work with meaningful goals
Ground your MITs and projects in goals that genuinely matter to you, not just what is urgent.
Zen To Done (ZTD), Made Practical - End each day with a progress review
