GTD?



Where Kanban's main points are:

- Visualise work flow - Limit work in progress

Getting Things Done's main points are:

- Capture all tasks/notes in only a few central places - Have a process for processing/reorganising these tasks

Kanban's aim is to make it clear what's happening (and what's not being done). You'd hope to see why you're not finishing things which you're "doing".

GTD aims to reduce mental load (the tasks/notes aren't in your head, they're on paper).


Getting Things Done is a time management method, described in the book of the same title by productivity consultant David Allen. The GTD method rests on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items.

Now that I’m more manager than dev, GTD is saving my butt.

As a dev it never really worked for me.
