5 Steps To Getting Things Done With Your Planner

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Hey Guys! Today's video is a review of Getting Things Done by David Allen. I wanted to share with you the 5 steps from this book and how I have applied them to my planning system. Have you read Getting Things Done? Did you apply anything to your planning system?

[@janclayton2017]

I’ve read it and watched multiple videos on how to apply the GTD method for over a year. But you, my dear, has simplified it so very much that I can now get things done. This video is very very functional and to the point. Please continue to provide great, timely content. Blessing to you.

I've been doing GTD for years, long before I discovered #plannertube 😁I haven't always followed the system religiously, but it's helped to keep me sane and later helped me decide what I needed from a planner system rather than just going with what everyone else was using.

[@karenrich9092]

These are some great ideas. My only problem is if I don't "make an appointment" to do the laundry, the dishes, declutter, etc. then it WON'T get done. However, I can prioritize tasks because my business duties may need to be done ahead of my housework. I may find myself coming back to this video repeatedly. Gee, I wonder if you can wear out a digital video?

[@username00009]

I’m in a similar situation so I’m really trying to focus on routines or, as some people like to call them, anchor habits. E.g., Every night, run the dishwasher after dinner even if it isn’t full. You can then empty the dishwasher every morning while you wait for the coffee to brew or after breakfast. Running the dishwasher requires less water than hand washing so even though it seems wasteful it is less wasteful than the alternatives that may be required (you know that feeling when you finally have enough dishes to fill the dishwasher, only to be disappointed that they don’t all fit so you either have to hand wash them or put them in the sink to wait for the NEXT load).

Such great tips. I need to get that book. Blessings.

[@MoneywithGab]

This is so on time. I will have to check out the book as well!

[@itsmariaa18]

My worst trait is that I'm binge watching your videos as they're so addicted and helpful instead of getting things done 😂 I read the book before but it was so overwhelming, now I understood more

[@metapixusion]

Yayyy omg i have been trying to figure out this method 🥳

[@klomax7089]

FANTASTIC video! I’m keeping this so I can re-review monthly 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽 I’ve added David Allen’s book to my reading list too 😉

[@missnurseeri]

GTD feels less daunting now.

[@George_Tropicana]

I tried reading the book and listening to it but my brain is too scattered to fully grasp the info. This vid def helped.

[@mrs.sanchezbudgetz3787]

Same same! Really good video with general info~

[@veronicabazoni8120]

Your videos are always so rich of information. I always take notes because they will help me in someway. Thanks for sharing with us. : )

[@OhNahBruh]

I've just started planning since I'm an anxious wreck with being an adult and your videos help sooooo much. Thank you!

[@torresfamily5408]

I’ve been following GTD for years. This is the most concise explanation I’ve ever heard. Thank you!

[@sibongilethwala7080]

Still not over your beautiful hands. Great tips. Thanks.

[@loriallred4727]

I have a daily planner and often I will have notes and things I may need to refer back to but don’t necessarily tasks associated with them (ie. notes about my mother’s health). How would you handle something like that?

[@username00009]

It’s best to create a special section for frequently accessed information. You could also apply Ryder Carroll’s bullet journal Table of Contents concept - basically, you would still record the info on the current day, week, or month (depending on your planner) but you would make a page to record the date (or page number) every time you add notes about your mom’s health.

[@imaginativecreativeyou8890]

I recently got this book at a garage sale and ive been using it in my planner very benificial

[@lolgriffin3243]

Getting that book off my shelf right now! I need to level up my planning!

[@duanjallow4766]

Thank you! You have convinced me to give it a try again 😊

[@samanthafoote4816]

This video was amazing! So well done and helpful, thank you for putting in the effort to make and post this!!! I’m about to go binge some more of your channel now that I’m feeling inspired to plan more productively ☺️

[@sml1557]

Need to get that book. I used to read a lot and then I stopped. Great info.

[@claudiahoffmeister7363]

Hi! Do you use nicer paper to print your planner pages on? Or do you use just regular? Thanks!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Yes. Premium paper 32lb :)

[@claudiahoffmeister7363]

@@TheOrganizedMoney Thank you!!

[@Linda_Murungi]

Notification gang... Loved the tips here. Going to look for the book. Thank you 😊

[@LupitaGP84]

I just love all your videos. You are bringing me back to life. I need to start organizing my life so that I can achieve my dreams!

[@meganamsalem5582]

I loved this, your videos are always great!

[@virginiaallen5505]

What kind/type of paper did you print your printable planner on?. Copy paper is too flimsy

[@MineCraftettez]

Thank youuu for this video 👏🏽

[@missnurseeri]

OMG! I have been waiting - *WAITING!* -for you to do this video. THANK YOU. Now let me actually go watch it. 😂

[@kershianagiah]

Loved it. Thank you 😊

[@hazelsalvador4849]

Hi! Thank to you for this video. I love how you have read the book. So neat. No highlights. Unlike me, I need to highlight the words to make it stand out.

[@lynnmorin9771]

Is there a place where you can purchase the planner inserts? I have a Franklin covey binder classic size and I really like the GTD but it needs to fit in my classic binder from Franklin covey.

[@lindawoodfill503]

Great tips ! Thanks !

[@Mamadriggs]

I just finished his book. I’m struggling with this so much because I honestly would prefer to do this digitally but the ability to have this big overview you can see on paper like you... so beneficial. BUT my planner is actually a TN and so having to write and rewrite and move things and cross off. Uggggh. Yeah. The struggle IS. REAL. So I’m literally at a standstill. I do have some empty happy planners but they’re all classic size which, too, I wouldn’t wanna have to figure out printing configurations or having to write and rewrite. Your consistency is amazing!!!! So inspiring

[@vicwoo95]

I love this video! I rewatched it to take notes in my notebook of these 5 steps. 😅😁💕

[@ClutchingPearlz]

Question- where did you get the cover for your large planner? Thanks 😊

[@username00009]

It’s available at OfficeMax / OfficeDepot, but I saw it on clearance last week so you may want to check online first. I’ve seen an Amazon link in the description box of previous videos, but Amazon didn’t seem to have this color.

Great video! Would love a printable with your key points from the book 😊

There is a GTD workbook which is great to work through the system

[@denisemarie9191]

@@Karen.c.h thanks, I did not know that!

[@username00009]

I also found a free decision tree printable from the GTD site a few years ago.

Going to get that book

[@royaleBlack]

Hi

[@kskouture]

GREAT INFO

[@Karen.c.h]

I don’t think Allen tells you to capture daily. He literally tells toy minds are for thinking things not holding thoughts. His capture is basically a brain dump. But hey I suppose daily is one way to do it. Other than that I think your simplification is is a good introduction.

[@username00009]

Allen does capture daily - there’s a KZbin video of him at his desk capturing daily items. The brain dump is for the initial setup, and I can’t remember if he says how often it should be repeated in case you weren’t diligent about capturing items as they come up.
