Part of my conversation with @jasongriffing on @roamsessions this Thursday will detail how I not only implement but also EXECUTE a GTD-style productivity system in @RoamResearch
#GTD makes amazing lists. But lists can pile up. My Daily Cycle helps solve that.

My Daily Cycle is the “metawork” I do every day to stay on top of my work and keep my attention in the right place at the right time.
It’s (mostly) friction-free and easy to engage with, which makes it more likely I’ll do it!
My Daily Cycle has 4 steps:

My Daily Cycle has 4 steps:
2/🧵
1. Choose your work
- Surface work from my GTD “back end” at the right time and in the right context
- Plan a daily [[Agenda]] based on what my system surfaces
I may not follow the plan exactly, but the agenda makes it far more likely “future me” will be productive

2. Track your work as you do it
I keep a [[Log]] of my work. This helps me:
- Commit to doing one thing at a time
- Record what I’m doing and when I’m doing it for later review (as needed)
With a simple SmartBlock, logging my work is easy and takes no time at all

3. Capture your ideas, tasks, projects, etc.
This is the GTD Inbox. Benefits:
- Not tying up “brain resources” to remember stuff
- Avoiding the illusion of urgency created when you do a task “just so you won’t forget it”
You won’t—it’s in your Inbox!

4. Connect what you captured to your work
- Process your Inbox with the 4 Ds: Do, Defer, Delegate, or Delete
- Link what you Defer or Delegate into your work system
This lets you surface your work when appropriate—which ties into “Choose your work” to complete the cycle

My 8-week live cohort course AP Productivity teaches you how to create your own Daily Cycle. Plus, I’m there to guide and coach you as you iterate to make it a robust and reliable system.
