The document discusses Getting Things Done (GTD), a productivity system created by David Allen. GTD is a framework for managing tasks and projects using a process of collecting, processing, organizing and reviewing information, and taking action. It involves capturing all commitments and tasks, clarifying actions, and organizing information into lists of next actions, projects and some day/maybes. The goal is to reduce stress and focus on the most important tasks. The document provides an overview of the GTD process and recommends apps and resources for implementing GTD.

Using GTD® To hack the universe. Because planning is as 31337 as the latest sploit, vuln, or 0day.
GTD®, what is it? ● A productivity system. – Envisioned by David Allen - @gtdguy. – Technology agnostic. ● A tool set. – Like the Linux command line utilities ● Common sense ideas. – Like Duh! :-) ● It can also be. – A Framework. – A Methodology. – A way of life.
Who uses GTD®? ● C.E.O.'s ● Doctors. ● Lawyers. ● Sysadmins. ● Coders. ● Web / Graphic Designers. ● Many others.
Why is this important? ●Get "stuff" off your mind. ● Never lose an idea. ● Decide What IS important. ● DO the IMPORTANT.
GTD® Process Overview ● Collect / Capture the "stuff". ● Process the "stuff". ●Organize the "stuff". ● Review the "stuff". ● Do the "stuff".
GTD® Process - Process the "stuff". When it IS NOT Actionable. ● Chuck it. ● File it. ● Think about it. – Find the Next Actions. – Make it actionable.
GTD® Process - Process the "stuff". When it IS Actionable. ● Multi-step? Turn it into a project. – Plan it. – Find Actions. – Build Actions List. ● Single Step. – Add it to an appropriate "Next Actions List".
GTD® Process - Organize the "stuff". The Next Actions Lists ● DO IT! - If it takes < 2 minutes to do. ● Delegate it. – Get someone else to do it. – You still have to check up on it. – It's ultimately your stuff. :-) – TAKE Responsibility. ● Defer it. - Not Right Now. – Specific Date or Time ( Calendar ). – ASAP Add it to an appropriate “Next Actions List”.
GTD® Process - Review the "stuff". ● What stuff? – That Non-actionable "think about it list". – Those Multi-step Projects. – Those “Next Actions” Lists. ● Why? – Plans change. – Jobs change. – The relevance of Projects / Actions change.
GTD® Process - Do the "stuff". To quote a rusty old truck: “Git-R-Done!” Enough said. :-)
