The modern world has become a juggling act. Emails, chats, groceries, deadlines, and a dozen browser tabs all scream for your attention. Multitasking has become the norm, but our brains weren’t built to hold everything at once. The result? Mental fatigue, missed details, and the overwhelming feeling that you’re always behind.
We’ve all been there — an idea flashes in your mind while you’re in a meeting, a task pops up during your commute, or a personal errand nags you during work. You tell yourself you’ll remember, but you don’t. Your mental inbox overflows and nothing gets done. You feel frustrated, scattered, and out of control.
The moment things started to change? Learning to trust a system. Instead of relying on memory, start capturing every thought, task, or idea — no matter how small — the moment it appears. This simple habit clears mental clutter and gives your brain the space it needs to focus.
David Allen’s Getting Things Done (GTD) method is a proven framework to bring clarity to chaos. Here are the five steps:
Jot down every task, idea, or reminder the moment it enters your mind. Use Pelyos’ Inbox to collect these without judgment or urgency.
Go through your inbox regularly and decide what each item means. Is it actionable? Can it be done in 2 minutes? Should it be delegated or deferred?
Avoid keeping titles that you won’t understand days or weeks later: ❌ Sugar ✅ Buy sugar
Place tasks into appropriate space — personal, work, shopping, projects. In Pelyos, you can use Spaces and Due Dates to bring order to each task.
Review your system frequently. This keeps it trustworthy and up-to-date. Block a recurring time each week to reassess your priorities.
Choose what to work on based on context, time, and energy. Pelyos’ Timeline View helps you focus on today without being overwhelmed by everything else.
Getting Things Done isn’t about doing everything — it’s about having peace of mind that everything is captured, processed, and ready when you need it.
Start small. Capture one idea today. Build the habit tomorrow. And let Pelyos be the calm space where your productivity thrives.
One of the most powerful GTD practices is the weekly review — a dedicated moment to reflect, update, and plan.
In Pelyos, you can create a recurring task called “Weekly Review” to keep this ritual alive. It’s a small step that makes a huge difference in staying grounded.
