#2063 Getting Things Done by David Allen

Clear your mind. Get organized. Take action.

Today’s book: Getting Things Done by David Allen—a proven system to clear mental clutter, stay organized, and take action with confidence. Classic in the subject of productivity.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Your mind is for thinking, not storing tasks. Get everything out of your head and into a trusted system.
  • Capture everything. Write down every task, idea, or commitment so nothing gets lost.
  • Clarify what needs to be done. Break tasks into actionable steps. If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.
  • Organize by context. Group tasks based on where and how you’ll do them—calls, emails, errands, deep work.
  • Review and reflect. Weekly check-ins keep your system sharp and ensure you’re focused on what truly matters.

A clear mind leads to better decisions and less stress. What’s one thing you can capture and clarify right now?
