Getting Things Done

The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Allen's method for feeling in control: capture everything that has your attention, decide the next action for each item, and keep it all in a trusted system so your mind can focus.

Three big ideas

  1. Get it out of your headWrite down every task and idea so your mind isn't trying to remember them all.
  2. Decide the next actionFor each item, decide the very next physical step you would take.
  3. The two-minute ruleIf something takes less than two minutes, do it now.
