Getting Things Done
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The
secret of getting started is breaking your complex
overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks,
and then starting on the first one.“
Mark Twain
Getting Things Done
• Manage tasks in lists
– In: add anything that might be a task
– Next (ASAP) actions: Something that can be DONE
– Waiting for: Delegated actions
– Projects: A goal that needs multiple actions
– Some day: May investigate later
• Contexts: tag the actions with required tools,
places, people, time
