GTD-Getting things done（修改）
Welcome to Getting Things Done! Welcome to a goal mine of insight into strategies for the art of stress-free productivity.
3 years ago,I was very confused about everything, my career,my future.I was aware that and i tried to find a goal for my life.Actually,i knew the book <getting things done> from then, but until nowadays I found myself did not move on a lot.I know I was not lack of methodology but lack of action.After I learnd the time management and goal management, i realize that GTD would be the best orientation of action.Now i want to introduce the magic tool—GTD —for you.
What is GTD?
Getting Things Done,was created by David Allen,it is a book for getting control of your life,also an efficiency tool for action management,has been published in twelve foreign countries.---The methods of GTD based on two key objectives：1.capturing all the things that need to get done outside of your head and off your mind;and 2 disciplining yourself to make front-end decisions about all the input things so that you will always have a plan for "next actions" that you can implement or renegotiate.
Basically,GTD has five-stages:collection-process-organize-review -and- do.(1)collet things that command our attention;(2)process what they mean and what to do about them; (3)organize the results;(4)review as options for what we choose to; (5) do it.
workflow
It has a classical workflow，getting started from the "stuff" ,put the stuff into the collection buckets and then ask yourself: Is it actionable？
if the answer is No, then there are three possibilities:1.trash,no longer needed.2.No action need now,but someday/maybe.3.reference.
if your answer is Yes,then continue ask yourself:
1| what project or outcome have you committed to? and if it's about a project...you need to capture that outcome on"project" list.This would reminds you that you have an open loop until it is completed or eliminated.
2| what's the next action required? This is the critical question,the next action is the next physical,visible activity that needs to be engaged in,in order to move the current reality toward completion.
# Once you've decided on the next action,you have 3 options：Do it,delegate it,or defer it.
if the action will take less than two minutes,do it now.if the action will take longer than 2', you can choose to delegate it to someone or defer it on calendar and track it on "next actions" list.
How can we ues it?
First write down the project or situation that is most on your mind at this moment,second write down the very next physical action required to move the situation forward.And then decide on outcomes and specific actions,and review options and make choices.
The key to managing all of your stuff is managing your actions.what's more,the critical success factor of GTD is the weekly reviews.Using the five stages of mastering workflow,you will be getting things done.
Thank you.
