Getting Things Done by David Allen is one of the staples of personal and professional productivity. Getting Things Done, or GTD for short has been on the top sellers' list for more than a decade (it first came out in 2001) and with good reason. David Allen has managed to create a system that you can use both at work, at school and at home - it is almost universal.
The book though is rather complex and lengthy and you can get lost in the nitty-gritty of the it all. And when you are overwhelmed, you cannot be productive.
That's why this video is so essential - in just 8 minutes, you'll be able to understands the core principles of Getting Things Done and start applying them in your life. Not to mention, the video is completely FREE, while you'll have to spend a few bucks to get your own copy of GTD.
Don't get me wrong though, the book is rather great, but you have to have the patience to go through all of it and it does get rather technical at times.
The best course of action would be the following - watch the video, learn David Allen's GTD concepts, apply them to your life and see how it goes. If you are happy with the results (as you most likely will be), head over to Amazon and get yourself a copy of the actual book.
This video will break down for you the core principles of GTD in only 5 steps - capture, process, organize, review and engage (it will make more sense once you've seen the video).
Watch the GTD summary, take action and apply it to your life and you'll see dramatic results.
Understanding Getting Things Done has never been easier - it only takes 8 minutes.

This video takes more than 3 minutes. I will watch it later on!
Haha
Lol
I see what you did there! :) Although, to know that you must've watched already! :)
Hope you watched it too :) Let me know if you have any questions
Not if you watch it at 2x speed.
Did a very quick summary, hope this helps!
5 steps
1. Capture
Capture action items/information so you don't need to remember it
2. Process: Is it actionable?
A. Yes? 2mins or less? Do it. Slower? List to prioritise
B. No? Keep it as a reference or discard
3. Organise: What is the next possible action?
Project (group together)
Time (calendar)
Context (groceries etc)
Non-actionable - store to revisit
4. Review: review action items and make adjustments
Weekly review of action items
Monthly review of goals - are these actions helping to achieve goals?
5. Engage - do it! Calendar will tell you what you have coming, project list will have actions that you need to do
A summary of the summary - love it :)
@@SuccessfulByDesign Yes that's a text summary, from next onwards try to put text summary also, so that neednot to watch entire video again. Its a request. Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot for the summary
Most definitely. Thank you.
should we make a summary of the summary's summary?
“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”
Clear and concise review... Keep it up...
Thank you! The next book review is going to be out shortly.
He said "brain". Common error I think.
@@SuccessfulByDesign out of curiosity, why did you stop?
I've been seeing a lot of talk about GTD as I explore productivity systems that work well for my neurodivergent brain. This video was so, so helpful! The visuals are what I really need to understand concepts and connections and I really enjoyed this.
Thanks so much!
This is an amazing video. I have read all of David Allen’s books, am a GTD devotee, and have never seen the good ideas distilled so well.
Thank for the awesome feedback!
Just started doing the GTD system and this explained it really well
Cool, glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with GTD and keep me posted on the progress and if you have any questions.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about how to focus at work try Vaxicorn Instant Focusing Guide(just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
Great Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Sanailey Inconceivable System (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting the success you deserve using this proven betting system minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got great results with it.
Well done! I always love watching animated summaries of concepts. They are very helpful.
Currently reading this book, and this is a great summary, thank you!
Thanks!
Send copy of this book
Amazon has yours :)
Loved the ...."your kid sets the spanish closed caption on your tv" for storage of future information example.
Thanks :)
Excellent, I was reading the book and I got overwhelmed with the information and you made it so easier. Thank you!!!! Applying it now.
Thanks for the great feedback! Let me know if you have any questions
I'm about to finish the book, and midway through I just started reading with the intention of reading it another time later just because I've gotten so overwhelmed with the info. Like you said, this video helped tremendously
Appreciate your straightforward and meaningful explanation, and how the animation effectively improves understanding. Nicely done. 🎯
Really good job of explaining the GTD. I am sharing this with my co-workers. Thanks for making and sharing.
Glad you like it, Tom! Thanks for spreading the word :)
Incredible video. Reading the book now, and watched this to solidify the concepts. Thanks!
Thank you for making videos like these. You have no idea how much it helps audio-visual learners like me. Reviewing books and summarizing it into videos help IMMENSELY. I absolutely have no patience to read books for leisure anymore ever since I entered college. I have so much self-help books I haven't read yet because I'm too tired or can't focus anymore, so your videos are god-sent.
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the awesome feedabck! I make these summaries for exactly that reason + it helps be understand the books I read better as I need to make sense of them before I can "teach" them to others.
brilliantly described - probably the best I've seen on gtd and not too long. Many thanks
Thanks for watching :)
Great summary! I've read through most of the book but haven't had a chance to finish it yet. Your summary makes it pretty straightforward. Thanks so much!
My pleasure :) Glad you liked the summary. The book is quite good, but it can get a little bit too detailed at times, hence why I decided to do a summary.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
Excellent summary! In under 10 minutes, I feel like I have got the benefit of reading the whole book. Thank you. *subscribed*
Oh thanks for the nice comment and welcome to the team :)
Thanks! I just read a summary of this book on an app. Your video clarified the idea, great work!
Great summary! I think books and concepts like these that are highly actionable are life changers!
LOVE THIS ♥️ So good and some added humour in their too so bound to remember the steps too.
The Summary is spot on! This is a wonderful channel that deserves a lot more subscribers! Keep up the great work
Oh thank you, happy you liked it!
Love this video! I was contemplating buying this book and wanted to see a little summary first; your video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Great illustrations too. :)
Thanks! The book is great, but I would start with implementing what is outlined here and only after moving into the more detailed version.
Well done! Thank you for an amazingly simple but very effective way of explaining this method!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very efficient. Thanks! I've scheduled myself to review this video in 1 week and again in 1 month. I hope to apply this process and I appreciate you retelling what you read!
Smart, I love it :)
Good summary. I read the book years ago and needed a refresher on the process. I got some good notes from your video.
Great video! Also, great library of practical and helpful videos you have here/in your channel. And, I LOVE your accent. Very enjoyable to listen to. Keep up the good work and thanks for your contributions for all of our sake.
Oh wow, thanks for all the great feedback!

Much appreciated! I'll check out the book and see if I can make a video on it in the future.

Thank you for the review, very helpful. Did I miss the review part? You simply summarized the book (great job) but I thought you would give your opinion about it
Thank you!! Makes me feel ambitious!!!
Rock on :)
Thanks a lot..... i love overviews....you just saved me 15 hours reading and digesting the book :-)
That was the point :)
Amazing video, thanks!
Thanks for watching it :)
Very useful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I built my second brain in Notion (mainly following Marie Poulin's tutorials) and it's changed my life. I used to be super disorganised and didn't know what I was doing with my life, now I'm way less stressed, everything I learn is categorised, I have a calendar where I plan my projects. It can do everything that GTD suggests and beyond
Notion and a second brain is awesome, glad these ideas worked out for you!
Great review! Very short and sweet!
Thanks for watching!
great summary. thanks!
Thanks for watching!
This was great learning for me.. thanks
Thanks for watching!
Súper me encanto
Paso a paso para la máxima productividad personal
Gracias 😁😃
Gracias :)
Absolutely great summary
Thank you!
Very helpful overview. Thank you
Thanks, happy you liked it! Let me know if you have any questions.
Really great job on this video. What make it better than many, are that you are showing the process with a real world example. Most videos show just the concept with no application. By illustrating also, it really anchored the ideas more. Thx. Great video I would love to see is a real world application of how to manage a week in GTD within the Things app for Mac and using either Evernote or OneNote for a reference tool. Thanks again.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Excellent. Appreciate the review.
Thanks!
I read the book and totally forgot about how to apply it. This video basically broke it down. Thank you
Always a pleasure!
Precise summary ! Gracias amigo :P
Thanks for watching!
Great summary of GTD. I'm sharing with my students!
Amazing! Good luck to all of them!
Very well explained. Great video :)
Thanks!
SBD- Is that you doing all of the drawing and video editing? Great job. And you have amazingly neat hand writing.
Not really, it is digitally animated :) But thanks for the positive feedback!
@@SuccessfulByDesign Came here to say that. It would be highly appreciated if you can make a video about how you animate videos. I’m amazed. Thanks for your videos. Keep on!
thank you.. succinctly clear short and sweet but with Brevity
Thanks!
Hi Kosio, this is - im my view - an amazingly great video about an amazingly great book - thank you very much for taking the effort - no easier way to explain what GTD is about and how it workes in a nutshell! Did you by any means also compose a poster in the style of your video, would be a great anchor to be printed and stuck on the wall in the office :-). Anyways, congratulations and thanks one more time!!
Much appreciated!
Big Thanks for this Video
My pleasure :)
This is hilarious because I actually realized I forgot to call my friend Mike for his birthday yesterday when watching this
gtd helps me a lot, doing things with plans n without anxiety o pressure。 thx a lot then！
Glad to hear, keep it up!
nice summary! thanks.
Thanks!
Great advice - thanks!
Always a pleasure!
thank you so much
Thank you Kosio! Your channel is the best :). You might enjoy the book The Go-Giver; although you've probably already read it. It made me understand why I need to give more to get more. It was recommended to me by a self-made millionaire. I keep returning to your videos. Your strategies work for a few weeks and then I loose my discipline again, but I keep seeing improvement. This time I might do better: I managed to consistently work out on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week for two months now without missing a day and still going strong. Hope you are doing fine!
Hey, thanks for the book recommendation. I actually haven't read that one, but it's going on my to-read list.
Glad to see you are making progress! Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions.
Really, Great work .. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Please do one of these for the Book: Do More Better by Tim Challies
I'll check it out, thanks!
Great explanation
Thanks!
