In Getting Things Done, David Allen teaches that you must capture, clarify, and organize absolutely everything, even the seemingly insignificant tasks (i.e. change the lightbulb in the entryway).
From reading this book I learned how to properly capture all of my to-dos — all of those notes jotted down on Post-Its, items rolling around in my mind, requests sent to me via text message or Slack, emails that need follow up, etc. I learned how to properly categorize those tasks so that my mind can be clear when needed and I can be most productive during the times where it makes the most sense.
Learning how to capture and properly clarify and organize all of your to-do items can take a bit of work. I cover my own process in more detail on my blog. But it is well worth the effort and practice if you want to accomplish peace of mind and sleep better at night.
Creating (and following) this system has been a game-changer for me! Sure, I still wake up occasionally with that lingering item in my mind, but I capture it quickly in my Todoist app. Then I can rest easy knowing that due to the system I created based on the GTD methodology, I’ll be able to take care of it the next day when I’m back at work. I now accomplish Inbox Zero every morning by about 8 am, which is something I always thought was a myth among professionals, and I’m known for being a go-to person for getting things done!
If you’re interested in learning how to better organize your workload and be more productive, Getting Things Done is a must-read!
