Getting Things Done is a self management philosophy from the eponymous book by David Allen. On the In Tray tab, users can capture all the amorphous To Do items. Next, users can decide to take definite, prioritized, time-bounded actions or plan projects of many actions. On the Next Actions tab, they can view an ordered list of all the Next Actions needed to be taken based on Context (eg Phone, Computer, Home, etc). Users can view multi-action Projects and Review Notes on the Planning tab. Reviews are a way for the users to record important accomplishments and improvements to productivity. On any tab, users can view details about each To Do, Next Action, Project, or Review as well as create a new one. Users can also link Next Actions to Projects and Contexts. This application includes artwork from Symplicity, Tinache Mugayi, Guru, Delwar Hossain, and AlePio.
