Getting Things Done

Getting Things Done is an official Crucial Learning course based on the productivity methodology David Allen created thirty years ago, teaching you to capture, clarify and organize everything that demands your attention so you make better decisions about where to invest time and energy. It works as a trusted system, your external brain, independent of the tool you use.

It runs one day (8 hours) in person, three 2.5-hour virtual sessions, or 4 to 6 hours of self-paced on-demand learning. Every format includes a four-week reinforcement experience.

It is delivered in more than 27 languages, including Spanish, English, French, German and Italian, always with native trainers and participant materials in the local language.

Yes. All formats include the official Crucial Learning certificate of completion, valid for internal development plans.

Not exactly. Classic time management tries to squeeze in more hours; GTD starts from a premise: the day has 24 hours, it won't have more, and your tasks won't shrink on their own. The system frees your mind from having to remember everything by moving commitments into a trusted system that lets you prioritize and spend time on what truly matters. Research shows GTD helps reduce cognitive load, increase focus, and make clearer decisions about where to invest time, energy, and attention.

Usually because you try to manage everything in your head, and the brain is built to have ideas, not to store commitments. GTD teaches you to get everything out of your head into an external system: people who use it are 18 times less likely to feel overwhelmed.

Those methods solve part of the problem, not the whole system. Pomodoro manages your focus in time blocks; the Eisenhower matrix helps you prioritize urgent vs. important; time blocking reserves slots in your calendar. All of them assume you already know what to do. GTD works one step earlier and deeper: it captures absolutely everything that demands your attention, clarifies it into concrete actions and organizes it into a trusted system, so your head is free. In fact, GTD coexists perfectly with those methods: once your GTD system is set up, you can use Pomodoro or time blocking to execute. In short: Pomodoro and Eisenhower are point techniques; GTD is the operating system of your productivity.

No. The method is tool-independent: it works with paper, your email client or whatever app you prefer. The course teaches the system, not a specific tool; you apply it with what you already use.

GTD works for both individual and team productivity. Small slips by just one or two members drop team productivity by an average of 24%; used collectively, GTD gives the team a shared way of working.

Yes, that profile feels the change most. GTD doesn't remove interruptions, but it gives you a system to decide fast what to do with each incoming item without losing the important thread; people who implement it save an average of 40 minutes to 1 hour per day.

Yes. We bring it into your organization in person or virtually, adapted to your sector and your teams' real cases, coordinated with your L&D team.

No. The course starts from scratch and works for any level of responsibility. Each participant practices their own productivity system with the real tools they already use.

After the training, for four weeks participants receive micro-practices, reminders and short challenges that ensure transfer to the job. It is one of the elements with the biggest impact on learning retention.
