About
The GTD mind map template, based on David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology, organizes 119 tasks and ideas across six core categories: Next Action, Projects, Waiting For, Want, Someday/Maybe, and Download. It serves as a personal productivity cheat sheet for tracking actionable items like 'stitch lacoste button' and 'active on edulix', project planning for 'languages/skills for ocjob', and deferred goals such as 'Learn about Field' and 'Internship'. This template helps users capture and prioritize tasks in a structured, actionable format.
