So, the first step of implementing GTD is to brain dump. Now, if you know brains, they like playing this little game where all this happens for a brief moment only, and after a while, you’re only thinking about potatoes.

There are moments when your brain suddenly hits all the right chords and you’re swamped with creative ideas, or better yet, all the things you need to get done. Now, you must be thinking this looks like a lot of work, and isn’t the GTD method supposed to minimize the work effort? Patience, my beloved reader! It may seem intimidating at first glance, but once you get to understand it better, it’ll work like a charm. The technique comprises 5 steps that bring you closer to getting your life together (well, almost). So, the whole concept of GTD revolves around the systematic organization of your tasks and priorities in a way that they become more manageable and achievable.

If you don’t have time to read the whole book (many of us don’t), I’ve broken down the method elaborately for you to understand why GTD works the way it does, and all the popular GTD apps that can help you implement it to master the skill of getting things done.
