Your brief

I want to refresh our website, am waiting for a colleague's copy and need to confirm an appointment on Wednesday. A podcast would be interesting someday. I have twenty minutes at my laptop now.

Possible draft

Fictional example: a busy working week

Refreshing the website is a project; one possible first action is to review the current homepage and note its problems. The copy goes to Waiting For, the confirmation retains its real date and the podcast goes to Someday/Maybe.

This example shows the approach. It is not a client result or a guarantee of a particular outcome.

03 / GET STARTED

A repeatable approach.Your own context.

  1. Capture and clarify

    Review every item: is it actionable, is it a project, and what concrete action could you take first?

  2. Give it a place

    Group actions by context. Keep appointments, waiting items, reference material and someday ideas in their own places.

  3. Choose and review

    Choose using context, time, energy and priority. The weekly review reconnects each active project with a next step.

04 / MAKE IT YOURS

Ready foryour work.

Take the instructions, add your own context and review the draft. You stay in control.

Keep in mind
  • The skill returns text and proposals; it does not send messages or update a task app or calendar.
  • Confirm missing dates, responsibilities and time estimates. Even a short action still needs the appropriate context and authority.
  • GTD provides an organising process. This skill does not guarantee productivity or relief from stress.
