Getting Things Done & Key Areas

This Notion template is designed to enhance productivity and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. It's centered around four dynamic tables that guide you through capturing, organizing, and completing tasks efficiently.

Daily In-Tray: This is your starting point and the most frequently accessed table. Here, you'll perform a "brain dump" of all pending tasks—no matter how big or small. Whenever new tasks arise, simply add them to this table. This could be anything from 'Take Bike to repair shop' discovered on a busy Monday afternoon to urgent work deadlines.
Process and Organize:
Due Dates: Assign immediate due dates for tasks you want to tackle today, or set future dates for less urgent items.
Review Frequency / Last Review: Ideal for recurring tasks like monthly budgets or weekly grocery shopping. Set how often these need revisiting, and track the last time you checked them off. Tasks will automatically pop up in your Overdue table if they pass their review frequency without completion.
Context and Priority: Add labels for additional context and prioritize each task. Once prioritized, tasks move from the Daily In-Tray to either the Overdue or Non-Urgent table, depending on their urgency.
Overdue Table: Review and tackle tasks that are past their planned completion or review date. This table helps you focus on priorities that need immediate attention.
Non-Urgent Table: Plan and keep an eye on tasks that are important but not time-sensitive. This space is perfect for tasks that you aim to complete in the future without immediate deadlines.
Recently Done Table: Track your accomplishments and recently completed tasks. This not only provides a sense of achievement but also helps in evaluating your productivity patterns over time.
This template is ideal for anyone looking to streamline their workflow and ensure consistent productivity. Whether you're managing personal tasks or professional projects, this layout helps you keep everything in check and progress systematically.
