My GTD Workflow Assessment/Tips Checklist from a few weeks ago got me thinking about the specific set of behaviors that make up David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology. So for fun I examined each tip, asked "Why should I do this?," and attempted to collect and name the underlying habits. Note that I found it fairly difficult to reduce these down so that there's no overlap, yet still find enough to get more detail beyond Allen's wonderful end-of-book summary:
- "keep everything out of your head;
- decide actions and outcomes when things first emerge on your radar, instead of later; and
- regularly review and update the complete inventory of open loops of your life and work."
