In this TED-Ed talk, David Allen, creator of the Getting Things Done (GTD) productivity method, explains how you can use GTD to be productive and more engaged with your work—and play. The end result isn't just that you're more organized, but that you don't stress out over those things as much, too.
The entire talk is about 20 minutes long, but it's a great step back from some of the more lofty GTD concepts like "priority" and "next action" that we often discuss, and the video is a good primer to GTD and why it can be a really effective productivity technique. Of course, GTD has its rules and rigor and may not work for everyone, but the basic tips and techniques Allen describes here are broadly applicable to just about anyone, even if you choose not to make GTD your productivity method of choice.
