Orchant, who calls GTD “a phenomenal piece of mental artistry,” credits GTD for his ability to handle a demanding full-time job, write four blogs, do a podcast show, and enjoy life with his wife and kids. He disdains talk of an Allen “cult,” preferring to refer to GTD as “a whole-life discipline.”

“I can’t imagine going back to that restless pursuit of ‘How do I get it together?’?” he says. “I have it together. And when I don’t, I know how to get it back together. And that’s about as good as it gets.”
TWO KEYS TO GTD
1. Capture all the things that need to get done — whether it be now, later, someday, big, little, or in between — into a logical and trusted system outside of your head and off your mind.

2. Discipline yourself to make front-end decisions about all of the “inputs” you let into your life so you will always have a plan for “next actions” that you can implement or renegotiate at any moment.
