Getting Things Done, sometimes abbreviated as GTD, is a time management method and the title of a book by David Allen.
GTD rests on the principle that you have to get things out of your head and recorded into somewhere you can trust. That way, you can give your mind a rest and concentrate on whatever you are doing.
Unlike other time management experts, Allen does not place much emphasis on setting priorities. Instead he advocates creating lists of tasks that are specific to a context, for example, having a list of telephone calls to make or things to do in the kitchen. He also suggests that any new task which can be completed in less than two minutes should be done immediately.
The GTD approach is documented in Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, Penguin Books 2003, ISBN 0142000280.
