Master Your Day: GTD Capture for Clarity
At the start of your day, perform a quick 'mind sweep'. Capture every thought, task, idea, or commitment into a single inbox (digital or physical). Don't organize yet; just get everything out of your head. This clears mental RAM, allowing you to focus on current tasks without distractions from uncaptured thoughts.

The human brain is excellent at creating ideas but poor at storing them. By externalizing all open loops into a trusted system, you free your cognitive load from remembering. This reduces mental clutter, stress, and the constant nagging of undone tasks. It creates a complete inventory of your commitments, enabling true focus and purposeful work rather than reactive task-switching. This foundational GTD step ensures nothing falls through the cracks and you can allocate your mental energy to execution.
