"GTD" - Creativity Through Time Management

"GTD" or Getting Things Done is the title of a book by David Allen on the art of time and activity management. According to Andrew Brown, in his article in SmallBusinessGuru.com , Allen is an advocate of recording tasks rather than remembering them, freeing the mind to focus on getting those tasks done.

He presents his unique method of emptying the mind of all the tasks needing to be done, and how to systematically and effectively Get Them Done.

Allen does not suggest making a list of priorities, but rather separate lists of tasks organized by context.

For example, phone calls to be made, errands to do. He presents a "2 minute rule" - if an errand can be completed in 2 minutes or less, do it immediately.

Allen expounds on his his 4 basic GTD principles - Collect, Process, Organize and File, and reminds us that no organizational system is effective if you spend all your time organizing instead of "Getting Things Done."
