Mastering Workflow

GTD® uses an easy, step-by- step method for achieving a relaxed, productive state. The five phases of the Mastering Workflow model will improve your current level of productivity and help you reach a relaxed focus control in your daily life:

1. Collect—capture anything and everything that has your attention
2. Process—transform unclear “stuff” into defined work
3. Organize—group the results of your processing into retrievable categories
4. Review—review calendar and action lists daily; conduct a weekly review of your entire inventory of commitments
5. Do—make trusted choices based on context, time, resources, and priorities

Earning Your Certification

Certification will be awarded based upon successful completion of pre- and post-work requirements, the ability to apply the GTD® methodology and to demonstrate competence in facilitating this session. After certification has been awarded, materials for in-house deliveries are available for purchase through Linkage.
