Getting Things Done (GTD): The System for Overloaded Minds

GTD is the operating system beneath many productivity methods. Its core promise: a mind like water — calm, because there's nothing left to store inside it.

The Five Steps

1. Capture: Everything goes straight into ONE inbox — via braindump, a sticky note, or a chat message to your app.
2. Clarify: What is it? Under 2 minutes → do it right away. Otherwise: define the next concrete action.
3. Organize: Sort things by context/project — your "stacks."
4. Reflect: The weekly review keeps the system honest. Without it, GTD dies.
5. Engage: With a clear head, simply do the next action.

The full system overwhelms a lot of people. The 80/20 version: one inbox + "next action instead of project" + weekly review. That alone calms the mind enormously.
