Unlike some theories, which focus on top-down goal-setting, GTD works in the opposite direction. Allen argues that it is often difficult for individuals to focus on big picture goals if they cannot sufficiently control the day-to-day tasks that they frequently must face. By developing a system that clarifies and defines the regular workday, an individual can free up mental space to begin moving up to the next level of focus.

As a results, items end up in one of the eight oval end points in the diagram (trash, someday/maybe list, reference filing system, task to create a project plan, done in under two minutes, delegated "waiting for" list, a context-based single-step task list, or on the calendar).
-
Next, project planning occurs. Multi-step projects are assigned a desired outcome and a single "next action." Finally, the tasks on the appropriate context-based task list are worked on unless the calendar dictates otherwise.

Seth BattisGetting Things Done is a book by productivity consultant David Allen that describes the method/procedure that he created with the same title name, often referred to simply as GTD.
The Getting Things Done method rests on the idea that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally, so the mind is free from the job of remembering the tasks that need to be completed. One can then concentrate on performing the tasks, instead of remembering.GTD (Getting Things Done) David Allen productivity session2 information management todo PLG (Professional Learning Group)

In traditional time management, priorities usually play a central role. In contrast, Allen's approach uses two key elements — control and perspective. He proposes a workflow process to gain control over all the tasks and commitments that one needs or wants to get done, and "6 different levels of focus" to provide them with useful perspective.

In 2005, Wired called GTD "A new cult for the info age",[2] describing the enthusiasm for this methodology among information technology and knowledge workers as a kind of cult following. Allen's ideas have also been popularized through the Internet, especially via blogs such as Lifehacker,[3] 43 Folders,[4] and The Simple Dollar.

In 2007, Time Magazine called Getting Things Done the self-help business book of its time.

TiddlyWiki has long been used as a personal productivity tool geared towards Allen's GTD methodology.

He proposes a workflow process to gain control over all the tasks and commitments that one needs or wants to get done, and "6 different levels of focus" to provide them with useful perspective.
The author advocates a weekly review focused on different levels, and suggests that the perspective gained from these reviews should drive one's priorities, which can in turn determine the priority of the individual tasks and commitments gathered during the workflow process. During a weekly review, the user determines the context for the tasks and puts them on the appropriate lists. An example of grouping together similar tasks would be making a list of outstanding telephone calls, or errands to perform while downtown.

-
- Start at the top.
- Deal with one item at a time.
- Never put anything back into 'in'.
- If an item requires action:
-
- Do it (if it takes less than two minutes), OR
- Delegate it, OR
- Defer it.
- If an item does not require action:
-
- File it for reference, OR
- Throw it away, OR
- Incubate it for possible action later.
-
- Next actions — For every item requiring attention, decide what is the next action that can be physically taken on that item. For example, if the item is, "Write project report", the next action might be, "Email Fred for meeting minutes", or, "Call Mary to ask about report requirements". Though there may be many steps and actions required to complete the item, there will always be something that needs to be done first, and this step should be recorded in the next actions list. Preferably, these steps are organized by the context in which they can be done, such as "in the office", "by the phone", or "at the store".
- Projects — Every open loop in one's life or work which requires more than one physical action to achieve becomes a project. These projects are tracked and periodically reviewed to make sure that every project has a next action associated with it, and thus can be moved forward.
- Waiting for — When an action has been delegated to someone else, or when one is waiting for some external event before a project can be moved forward, this is tracked in the system and periodically checked to see if action is due, or a reminder needs to be sent.
- Someday/Maybe — Things to be done at some point, but not right now. Examples might be "learn Thai", or, "take diving holiday".
