GTD is an organizational system. It doesn't put rules around how you actually do your work. Instead, it focuses on how you capture the work you need to do, organize it, and choose what needs your attention. At its core, GTD stands on five "pillars," or steps to getting and staying organized:
[WHY]
] GTD is a method for organizing your to-dos, priorities, and your schedule in a way that makes them all manageable.
] One of GTD's biggest benefits is that it makes it easy to see what you have on your plate and choose what to work on next
] It also has a strong emphasis on getting your to-dos out of your head and into a system you can refer to.
This clears your mind of any mental distractions that will keep you from working efficiently
[WHY NOT]
] GTD also has a reputation for being complicated.
It doesn't have to be, but part of the reason why it's earned that reputation is because there's no one, rigid, "right way" to practice it.
