Notes from Getting Things Done by David Allen

GTD: "GettingThingsDone

www.minezone.org/wiki/MVance/GettingThingsDone

1. capture all the things that need to get done into a logical and trusted system outside of your head and off your mind
2. disciplining yourself to make decisions about all the inputs you let into your life, so that you will always have a plan for next actions that you can implement or renegotiate at any moment

Outcomes & Actions

1. describe in a single sentence the intended successful outcome for the problem or situation
2. write down the very next physical action required to move the situation forward

Horizontal & Vertical Control (Get Things Off Your Mind and Get Them Done)

1. horizontal maintains coherence across all activities in which you are involved
2. vertical manages thinking up and down the track of individual topics and projects

Five Stages of Workflow (Horizontal)

1. collect things that command our attention (anything personal or professional, big or little, that you think should be different than it currently is and that you have any level of internal commitment to changing)
