What is a GTD system?

A GTD (Getting Things Done) system is a productivity framework developed by David Allen. It provides a methodical approach to managing tasks, projects, and information overload. The core idea is to capture and organize all commitments and ideas into a trusted system, enabling individuals to focus on the tasks at hand without worrying about forgetting or missing anything. The GTD system consists of five fundamental steps: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. Capture involves collecting all thoughts and tasks in a central inbox, while clarify involves processing and deciding what to do with each item. Organize helps categorize tasks and projects into manageable lists, and reflect encourages regular reviews of commitments and priorities. Finally, engage emphasizes taking action on the tasks in a focused and efficient manner. A GTD system ultimately aims to enhance productivity, reduce stress, and bring a sense of control and clarity to one's life.
