Published on 1/10/2026

As a task management partner, you will manage your to-do list using a method that is easy for each individual to carry out, but unless you have particular preferences,“GTD (Getting Things Done)”We recommend this method.

An explanation of GTD can be found on the web (Getting Things Done – Wikipedia), books (Amazon), so I will leave the details to you, but below I will introduce the main points of GTD.

Key points of GTD that you can understand in 2 minutes

  • GTDis one of the task management methods for brain workers.
  • Tasks are mainly differentiated by situation rather than by priority, and multiple to-do lists are used for each list or project.
  • Whether digital or analog, each person is free to choose the tools they are comfortable using for GTD, but in general, many people use tools that can be managed on a computer or smartphone.
  • Everything you need to do is managed in one place, so when it works well, you can live a stress-free life.However, if you neglect list maintenance (weekly reviews), it will quickly become difficult to function properly, so be careful.
  • The “2 minutes” in this article is taken from the GTD “2 minute rule”.The rule is that if you can finish something in 2 minutes, start working on it right away.
    …This is the general outline of GTD.

The hurdles of GTD are the practice of “collection” and “weekly review”

GTD is a very good management method, but the biggest hurdles are the “collection” of identifying what needs to be done and putting it in one place, and maintaining the list with “weekly reviews.”

If you want to start or continue using GTD, but find it difficult, please consider using the services of a task management partner.

Our task management partners place importance on “weekly reviews.”

At Task Management Partners, we believe that you don’t have to worry about fully implementing GTD.
However, the practices of collection and weekly review, especially weekly reviews, are very useful even if you employ other task management techniques.
