Getting Things Done: the basics
- Capture. Write down everything you need to do.
- Clarify. Break down each task into an actionable next step.
- Organize. Move each of those actionable tasks onto a specific list: E.g: Action: Things to do next, Waiting For: Tasks or projects you’ve delegated or are waiting on other people for, etc.
- Reflect. Set time aside to re-assess your priorities and update your lists weekly or daily.
- Engage. Start working through your Action list in order.

The 2-minute rule
If a task takes less than 2 minutes, then do it now.
If the effort to keep remembering a task is more than just getting it out of the way now, then do it.

Fixing small tasks
- Fixing things is empowering. Our confidence increases or decreases based on our ability to make progress.
- Any progress builds momentum (and your mood): No matter how small the task is, crossing it off your to-do list gives you a boost of momentum and enhances your mood.
- Small steps turn into habits: When a task is easy to do and quickly completed, it’s much easier to turn it into a habit.

The hard thing about small tasks
We're pretty bad at estimating how much time a task will take, even if we’ve done that task before.
When you’re trying to implement the 2-minute rule, you might find yourself spending hours on that “easy” email you wanted to write.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
