Capturing Everything

Productivity for Knowledge Workers

A book-shaped table of contents for productivity as practiced by a knowledge worker: foundations, self-management, goal setting, time and deep work, personal knowledge management, learning, task systems, decision making, habits, digital productivity, engineering and career practice, health, review, and an advanced operating-system layer, plus reference appendices — cross-linking existing notes instead of duplicating them.

2 — GTD (Getting Things Done)

Getting Things Done as a closed-loop system: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, engage — the reference implementation most personal task systems borrow from.

Kanban for Personal Work

Visualizing personal work as a flow across columns with WIP limits, so the amount of work-in-progress becomes visible instead of implicit.

4 — Managing Multiple Projects

Portfolio-level task management once GTD and Kanban aren't enough on their own — sequencing, WIP limits, and weekly triage across concurrent projects.

Inbox Zero

The processing discipline — not the folder structure — that actually keeps an inbox at zero: every item gets a decision, not a re-read.
