    GTD (Getting Things Done)

    Getting Things Done (GTD) is a productivity system created by David Allen that moves every task, idea, and commitment out of your head and into a trusted external system. You capture everything into an inbox, then sort each item into one of five buckets — Next Actions, Waiting For, Projects, Someday/Maybe, or Reference — so your mind is free to focus on doing rather than remembering.

    David Allen's legendary system for stress-free productivity.

    The Five Buckets:

    Golden Rule: If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.

    Best for: People who feel overwhelmed and need a trusted system to capture everything.
