Feeling overwhelmed by GTD? Start small.
When you’re new to Getting Things Done®, even the Weekly Review can feel like too much. That’s why GTD Coach Meg Edwards created this beginner-friendly video series.
In the first three episodes, she shows you how to build momentum by focusing on the smallest changes that bring the biggest relief.
Not sure where to start?
There’s no perfect entry point into GTD, but there are some recommended ones. In the first video of the series, Meg shares a low-stress, high-impact way to jumpstart your Weekly Review.
She walks you through three simple processes that’ll give you an instant sense of control:
- A fast calendar review (past & future)
- Cleaning your “Waiting For” list
- Cultivating a calm and proactive mindset
Is the Weekly Review too intimidating?
If the full GTD Weekly Review feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. But it’s not all or nothing.
In her 2nd video, Meg shares three overlooked ways to simplify your system and make your Weekly Review feel doable again:
- A smarter agendas list
- A more purposeful errands list
- A fresh approach to personal checklists
Dreading your Next Actions list?
A cluttered task list doesn’t motivate you. It drains you. In part 3 of the series, Meg reveals the most common mistake GTD users make with their Next Actions—and how to fix it.
You’ll learn:
- How to spot and fix an overloaded list
- Why adding an “On Hold” list lightens your cognitive burden
You don’t need a full overhaul, just a few smart adjustments to get back on track.
