When life feels chaotic, the last thing you need is more noise. What you do need is a clear way forward—and often, that starts with a simple mindset shift.
This week, three GTD Coaches share practical tools and personal stories that show how GTD can meet you right where you are and help you get back to clarity, focus, and freedom.
From Overwhelmed to Actionable
What do you do when something big hits—something emotional, complex, and completely outside your control?
Many of us freeze or spiral, stuck in what’s wrong or uncertain.
In this video, GTD Coach Alana Wright shares a deeply personal story about her daughter’s sudden heart surgery, and how a simple mindset shift helped her move from paralysis to taking action.
Learn how reframing problems as projects can give you clarity and momentum when you need it most.
Your System Is Smarter Than You Think
Your trusted system is more than just a task list.
In this video, GTD Coach Mary O’Malley shares how your system can strengthen executive function, support ADHD, and reduce mental friction by helping you reflect more clearly and act more intentionally.
See how the Weekly Review becomes a tool for metacognition, sharpening your focus, improving decision-making, and helping you work with more purpose and less stress.
Hit Reset Before You Power Through
When your week starts to unravel with back-to-back meetings and last-minute changes to your schedule, it’s tempting to skip the Weekly Review entirely.
But that’s exactly when it’s most impactful.
GTD Coach Meg Edwards explains how the Weekly Review isn’t about catching up on tasks; it’s your chance to pause, reset, and realign.
