Hello everyone and welcome to the keep productive YouTube channel
Just before we dive into this video a disclaimer before we begin I'm know getting things done consultant
I'm just a fan of the method. I've used it very much previously to get me started with productivity David
Allen is a genius on this topic
And if you're brand new to it
I recommend you check out all of his content and also the book and have a look at the upcoming
GTD summit - this is more of a distilled version of how you can use getting things done with todoist. So let's dive in
So naturally GTD has five snaps. And the first of those five steps is capture
so insider todoist
The best way of capturing is using the capture
extensions on Gmail also on Chrome and also use the inbox ability
So for example if you have something in your email
You could forward it on to the dedicated to duyst email address
You can use extensions of Chrome to save and add tasks to the inbox at any given time
Now as you capture all of those items you can use intelligent input to capture date and information about that specific feature
And it's so important when you're capturing them to add a clear title
Not a rough one because it will save you time on snap 2 which is clarify. So let's dive in to clarify
This is step 2 of the GTD process
The important thing here is to clarify the tasks you're working on you need to start adding next steps and that includes adding
subtasks and in relevant comments
If you have the traduced premium where you can add links files even audio, which will help you come to complete nap tasks
So at the moment we've done capture we've captured a task
We've clarified it and now it's time to step number three, which is organized
So once you're organizing your task, you can add any label to it to add a bit more context
So for example, this could be the tool you're gonna use to complete the task the duration
It's gonna take you for example
30 minutes the type of task whether it is an intense task or a
low-energy task and even the location
so for example
You could use at town if you're going to complete it a town and at home if you cannot complete it at home now
Here is where you ant Jude 8 as well, you need to add a due date based on the start date
Not the completion date because chances are if you leave it to the deadline, you'll forget about it
So for example use a due date as a start date for the task now
You've also got the ability to add to projects here projects will help you to organize
All of your different tasks into different areas
For example, I have just a simple personal and work
But I know many people have found value in having a project for each of the projects
They're working on you know
You can go inside the projects and even section them out
if you're looking to go a bit deeper with your specific tasks and
Also to organize your tasks and a priority level to it - this helps to define the importance of the task
So once you've started capturing clarifying and organizing your tasks into your todoist account
It's important to reflect a week review is an important activity to do and it's definitely recommended if you don't do this already
Carve out 20 30 minutes of your time to review all of your current and upcoming tasks inside of todoist
I notice every Thursday a routine to help me plan ahead. This is always checking
My to-do list account and moving it around
now if you want to you can use to do is karma to see exactly what tasks you completed during the re and
also
Whether you're hitting your completion rates - you can go to settings and change how many tasks you'd like to aim for each day now
number five and the final step - GTD is engaged and this is actually the doing part of the task since for example
Doing your tasks based on energy levels
It is a good way forward and in the context high energy Low Energy
Will help you to work around all of the tasks
for example
If you're high energy in the morning
Associate all your tasks then because that will really help you can also organize your tasks based on priority or urgency
This will help you to complete the tasks that are most important to do straight away
So for example, once you complete a task, it's important to and the next action
This is something that GTD recommends and you should always think about your next action
there's a brilliant graph which would include below the GTD basis itself off that you should definitely follow when
Delegating or organizing a task for later. And also if you have to do this premium, you can create filters to engage with scenarios
So for example, if you commonly do work in a taxi, you can bring together all of your labels into one place
so for example tasks at a ten minutes long that can be done on your phone can be done in a taxi so you can
Create a filter based on there
so for example
you could create a scenario filter based on waiting for kids at school and actually
Organize all the tasks that you could potentially do during that period of time
Let's say you've got your smartphone and five minutes and you can just pump out some
Tasks easy tasks set available in filters now to do is do have a smashing going on the website and there many blog
References are like to put out there
I'll include Carl's pure GTD full guide a great recommendation for taking it to the next level and also dunk Vaughn
I'm gonna butcher your name Doug dunk
Vaughn core horn has actually created a great one of how to make to do its core form to GTD
It's definitely worth recommended and it's all about how he uses tiago forties at course on GTD to utilize this
anyway, guys
Hopefully this was a nice overview to GTD would todoist this was a basic guide to let me know in the comments below
How you'd add to this? How do you Dan prove it it be honestly great to hear and if we're going
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Make sure to have a great week key productive and I'll see you guys very very soon
