Getting Things Done

Blogging comes with a never-ending to-do list. Reach out to that sponsor! Send so-and-so an invoice! Look into why my site is slow! Come up with an editorial calendar for next month!

How do you ensure that you stay productive and on top of all of your to-dos? You have a set system of principles to keep you organized and motivated.

That’s what Getting Things Done is all about. You’ll learn all about David’s productivity tips that will help you create order out of chaos in this episode!

In this episode, David shares:

  • What the GTD methodology is
  • What the five steps are
  • What it means to get clearer
  • How to do nothing
  • What mind like water means
  • How to create a trusted system
  • What lists you should use to get things done
  • What the 2-minute rule is
  • What it means to gather all of your open loops
  • Why a weekly review is valuable
  • What an “in basket” is
