I have a physical inbox, a text file inbox, and an email inbox.


Once you've defined each of the concepts, you just start following the GTD practices.įor example, me at work. What are your inboxes? Where do you keep your next action lists? Your projects list? Your reference files? Each of these needs a home (or multiple homes, but keep it as simple as possible). The important thing is that you take each of the concepts of GTD and map them to something. General-purpose apps (Trello, Excel, SQL database.).Dedicated apps (Things, OmniFocus, Reminders, Evernote.Plain text files (I'm using this right now).And there are a lot of ways to keep lists: The physical and virtual pieces of a GTD setup look different for everyone, but you really just need lists (and a calendar, but that could just be another list). It sounds like you want a more concrete, step-by-step-ish guide to getting started. I think you can get the setup guides with a free trial of GTD Connect, but I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure.īased on your comments, it sounds like you understand most of the concepts in the book, but you're wondering how to actually make it happen.
