Building a GTD Workflow with Keyboard Shortcuts

David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” method is about offloading your brain and executing with clarity.

But opening all those tools every time? That’s friction.

Let’s use shortcuts to remove it.

The GTD Flow

1. Capture → Notes or Inbox
2. Clarify → Task manager
3. Organize → Projects, tags
4. Reflect → Weekly review
5. Engage → Do the work

Keyboard Shortcut Setup

• Control + Tab, C → Capture app (Apple Notes, Drafts)
• Control + Tab, T → Task manager (Things, Todoist)
• Control + Tab, N → Notion for project planning
• Control + Tab, R → Calendar or Reflect journal

How Assignee Helps

You can set up context-specific shortcuts:

• Work GTD stack
• Personal GTD stack
• Single-key capture mode

Final Thought

GTD works better when your tools are frictionless. Use Assignee to remove the friction between your ideas and actions.
