I built these PDF forms to help myself implement and stick to David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology. They are both printable and editable (in PDF Forms). You'll receive all the pages in a zip file. These are designed to be printed at 8.5" x 11" with .5" margins. Capture Form is meant for capturing those "open loops" swirling around your head. Get everything down on paper! Inbox Processing is meant to get you thinking, what, where and when do I need to address this? What bucket does this go in? The Next Actions form is designed for you to put context to those next actions so you can go get them done! Remember to write down the actual next physical action to take. What project is it for? What's the Next Action Task? What's the context? What's the priority? When is it due? The Waiting For List is for those items that you've delegated or that depend on someone else taking action first. By keeping it on a list that you'll review, you can free your mind from reminding you at the improper time. What's the project? Whom are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? When should you follow up? When is it due? When was it done? There are 3 Project Forms in here for different sized projects. One full-page, one page split between 2 projects, and one page split between 5 small projects. Outline the tasks, and ask, what can be delegated? What are the context, priority and due date? Someday/Maybe List is for those tasks and projects that you just can't quite tackle in the near future but you certainly would like to make a reality someday... maybe...When did you add this to the list? (this question can be fun to see how your priorities and ideas change over time) Whats the task/idea? What is the context? What's the priority? When would you like to do it? What would be the next action? I keep several of these lists, one for home, one for work, one for travel, one for books....
