Getting Things Done (GTD)
Description
The Getting Things Done (GTS) Template is a time management method that is described in a book of the same name by David Allen. The method is based on the idea of moving important tasks and projects out of your head by recording them externally and breaking them down into actionable pieces. The goal of this process is to spend less time working, and more time doing the things that you want to do.
The template is divided into eight sections: Inbox, Do It Now!, Waiting On, Delegate, Someday/Maybe, Project, Schedule, and File or Trash.
