Productivity Using Getting Things Done Framework

As ambitious professionals, you understand the importance of getting things done and taking actions. However, just taking actions and getting things done don't always guarantee your career success. There is a small but importance difference between those who are successful in their careers and those who are not.

Successful people are typically characterized by their drive and ambition, perseverance and resilience, and ability to stay focused and organized. They have a clear understanding of their goals and the steps needed to achieve them, as well as the motivation to take action.

Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, tend to lack focus and direction. They often have trouble staying motivated and may procrastinate or become easily discouraged when faced with obstacles. They may also be disorganized and lack the discipline to stay on track. Moreover, they may be using their time ineffectively and are often busy with unimportant tasks.

This is a Productivity Workbook using Getting Things Done Framework by David Allan. To lead an organised and stress free life, you need a framework to help you. "You can do anything, but not everything." said David Allen, the author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.

This Productivity Workbook uses Getting Things Done Framework and will guide you to think about how to clarify, categorize and engage in actions that move you forward in the right direction.

There are 5 steps:
1. Capture everything.
2. Clarify whether something is a task requiring action, a project that needs to be broken down, a reference material or something else.
3. Organize them accordingly. Eg: Create a meeting invite, put files in the right folders, delegate a task to someone, add a task to your planner, etc.
4. Review this workbook regularly. Reflect on the progress and actions completed.
