CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
It’s quite shocking how much a GTD system can help someone. With it comes many benefits such as less stress and anxiety, better sleep, and even a happier mood. The GTD system that’s best for completing things and organizing plans is:
Capture – gathering all actions, ideas, and even tasks
Process – Is it actionable?
Organize – Combining similar tasks and creating a chart
Review – Making adjustments if needed and keeps things running smoothly
Engage – completing tasks and repeating the last four steps
With this system, you can clear your head and lay out thoughts, ideas, and plans effectively and be able to act on them with the least amount of stress. GTD systems can help everyone out no matter the age and its best to put one into effect when you’re younger as we can hold that pattern much easier and save ourselves from a lot of anxiety in the future.
