Implement David Allen's full GTD method in Notion with contexts, projects, and a real weekly review.

4.6A faithful, practical implementation of David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology built natively in Notion. Many GTD-in-Notion attempts miss the point and just create a fancy task list. This guide implements the actual GTD pipeline: capture everything, clarify what each item means, organize by context and project, reflect weekly, and engage with confidence. Who it's for: people who've read or heard about GTD and want a digital home for it that isn't a rigid commercial app. Knowledge workers with many competing inputs, anyone who feels mentally cluttered, and existing GTD practitioners migrating into Notion. You'll build a single Inbox for capture, an Actions database with Next Action and Context properties, a Projects database (where a 'project' is anything needing more than one action), and the lists GTD requires: Next Actions by context, Waiting For, and Someday/Maybe. The guide explains the clarify decision tree (is it actionable? two-minute rule? delegate, defer, or do?) and how to represent it cleanly with Notion properties. Most importantly, it includes a complete Weekly Review checklist, the keystone habit that makes GTD work and that most people skip. By the end you'll have a trustworthy system where your mind is clear because everything is captured and you know your next action on every commitment. Core build: about 70 minutes.
No. The guide explains every GTD concept it uses (next action, context, project, weekly review). If you have read it, the implementation will feel familiar and faithful.
It scales down. If you have few commitments, use just the Inbox and Next Actions list. The guide notes which parts are optional for lighter use.
No. GTD treats the calendar as sacred (only date-and-time-specific commitments go there). Everything else lives in Notion as next actions. The guide explains the split.
Yes, fully functional on Notion's free plan.
