Learn Getting Things Done by using it

Someone who trusts their own system: every commitment captured, every project with a next action, and a weekly review that keeps your head free for the work in front of you.

This is David Allen's method, practised rather than summarised. The opening asks for real setup: a few hours of emptying your head onto paper and building lists. After that, it's five minutes a day. The system only keeps paying off if you keep the weekly review going, so we build that habit on purpose. Miss a week? No drama. Just pick it back up.
