5 Problems with GTD and How to Fix Them

Five problems people have with GTD from Zen To Done (ZTD) by Leo Babauta

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a very popular system created by David Allen.

Here are 5 problems people can have with it and how to overcome them :).

Instead, focus on one habit at a time.

Use proven habit-changing methods (30-day challenge, commitment, rewards, motivation hacks, etc.) to successfully adopt each habit.

The focus is more on capturing and processing than doing.

Block out time and remove distractions to focus on one task at a time.

Focus on completing tasks, in a simple, stress-free manner.

Plan your three most important tasks for the day and your three big rocks for the week.

Set daily and weekly routines to get more done.

If we put everything on our lists, they end up overloaded.

Focuses on taking as much stuff off your plate as possible, so you can focus on doing what’s important.

There is too much focus on doing whatever comes at you rather than doing what you should be doing.

Set one yearly, one monthly, and one weekly goal and make progress towards them.

These are habits from Zen To Done (ZTD).
