This comprehensive primer introduces David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, a systematic approach to capturing, organizing, and processing tasks to achieve stress-free productivity. The system emphasizes capturing all commitments in a trusted system outside your head, clarifying actionable next steps, organizing by context and priority, and regularly reviewing to maintain system integrity. Engineering leaders will learn how GTD's five-phase workflow (capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage) creates mental clarity and enables focus on the right tasks at the right time.
