Qu’est-ce que GTD Getting Things Done

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a personal productivity system by David Allen (2001 book, now standard). Core idea: capture everything you need to do, process it into projects/next actions/reference/someday, review weekly. This frees your brain from remembering, lets you focus on execution. Five steps: Capture → Process → Organize → Review → Do. The system scales from freelancers to CEOs.

❓ FAQ

What are the 5 steps of GTD?

(1) Capture: write everything down (inbox). (2) Process: decide is it actionable? If no, delete/reference/someday. If yes, is it next action or project? (3) Organize: put in buckets (projects, next actions, waiting). (4) Review: weekly review, update lists. (5) Do: pick next action, do it, mark done.

What's a 'next action' and why is it important?

Next action = smallest concrete step toward a goal. Not 'finish report' (vague), but 'write introduction (1 hour)' (concrete). GTD philosophy: brain is for ideas, not storage. Free brain by capturing everything, writing next actions. Reduces mental load, increases focus.

How do I avoid overloading my task list?

Capture everything, but distinguish projects (multi-step) from next actions (single step). Projects go in a projects list. Next actions go in a next-actions list. Review weekly: close finished tasks, break stalled projects into next actions. Keep next-actions list under 50 items.

What's the purpose of a weekly review?

Weekly review: look at all projects, check if stalled (need new next action), delete completed tasks, capture new ideas. Typically 1-2 hours/week. Prevents tasks from falling through cracks. Most important GTD habit.

Can GTD work with a team?

Yes. Teams use shared next-action lists (Todoist, Asana). 1-on-1s discuss delegated tasks (I'm waiting on you to...). Team weekly review: align on priorities, unblock blockers.

What if I have too many projects?

Too many projects = context switching, low output. GTD says: cap active projects (5-7). Mark others as 'Someday/Maybe'. Revisit quarterly. Discipline > tool.
