Getting Things Done w/ GMail

by Jason Bean on September 13th, 2006

You can use Gmail to get a lot more stuff done than just reading simple, old e-mail from friends and family. Are you like me, getting weary of trying to maintain some sense of order and organization to your Inbox and your life? With GTDGmail you can accomplish both.

GTD - Getting Things Done - is a simple and effective productivity concept: designed so that even the laziest and most scattered of people can be organised and stress free.

It is a way to get things done with “less effort, more ease and elegance”.
GTD focuses on Contexts and Next Actions. A Context is the best place to achieve something, and a Next Action is the thing you think is most important to do next.
Projects and complex priorities are strongly devalued as they are rarely the answer to organisational problems.
As a very simple example, a to do list might have the Context ‘At Computer’, with the Next Actions being ‘Visit GtdGmail.com’ and ‘Download GtdGmail’. Thus, when you are next sat at the computer, you know exactly what is most effective to do next.

Take charge of your Inbox and your life and start getting things done!
