Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

Getting Things Done is a productivity book that advocates simple processes for actually getting things done. It is agnostic as to whether digital means or paper are used. (He mentioned his previous version mentioned specific productivity tools, but they have been changing so fast that this became redundant.) The key principal is to follow "natural problem solving":  capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. We often have a tendency to jump too quickly into solving problems without spending time asking why we need to solve the problems. To solve, it is important to use a "no filter" approach early on. Later things can be organized with items that are quick to complete done, while more detailed projects are broken down and reflected upon. There are many different components that would be useful for "getting things done." Getting everything together would probably be best, but even just getting a few components would be helpful.
