But forming new habits can be hard - GTD isn't effortless. What I have tried to emphasize throughout this series is that despite appearances, GTD is not complicated. But you can always use less, or simpler tools. Last time we discussed a basic "stack" of software tools that powerful but fairly simple to use. If you do this consistently, you will be in a much healthier position with respect to your work, and you'll probably find you get more done and stress out about it less.Ī fifth "habit" is the use of a simple trusted system to organize all the stuff that you have collected, processed, and planned out. Use whatever tools you want - analog or digital, simple or complex. Just take time, like the next 60 days, to consistently practice these habits and get them ingrained into your daily life. If you wanted an absolutely minimal GTD system, you could stop right here.

The basic four habits are Collecting (capturing items that grab your attention and putting them into external storage,x like a notebook or notes app), Processing (going through the captured stuff on a regular basis to decide what to do with it), Planning (setting up intentional blocks of time to do things to that stuff), and Doing (actually executing the tasks that you planned).

GTD is predicated on the practice of simple habits, done consistently.

GTD is about changing the way we think about and behave around our work - not about apps or tools.

GTD is a framework for organizing the things we have to do in our lives and for thinking about those things, in order to make the best decisions possible about what we should be doing at any point in time.
