When I have to explain to someone in a few minutes what Getting Things Done (the GTD methodology) is, what it is about or what it consists of, I have a hard time focusing on a more or less complete answer in a short space of time. In the end, I almost always end up explaining the basics of the methodology so that the listener does not feel overwhelmed, and I am left with the feeling that I have not conveyed a real or complete idea of ​​the concept.

We have been unconsciously falling into a great little delusion: “The more I work, the more productive I am”.

Fear is, without a doubt, our greatest enemy when it comes to taking transcendental actions. It often prevents us from making the big changes in our lives: changing jobs or careers, moving to another city, or starting or ending a relationship.

The last stage of the Getting Things Done methodology workflow is called Engage, and it is when you take advantage of all the organizational work you have done in the previous stages to make effective decisions about what to do at any given moment.

Okay, you’ve already captured a lot of things that need your attention. The next step to properly manage your commitments is to determine the exact meaning of everything that has come up in the capture phase. In the GTD methodology, this second stage is called Clarify.
