Getting Things Done DC (GTDDC) Productivity Group

Are you doing your Weekly Review this week? I hope the answer is yes!

Get ready for your Weekly Review and join us at the Weekly Review Accountability Party! We start at 10:30 AM Eastern every Friday. (Check the GTD Café channel in Personal Productivity Club for other WRAP events that might be happening throughout the week via https://www.personalproductivity.club/share/NGSGigeO1j7bUeMZ?utm_source=manual.)

What is the Weekly Review Accountability Party?
We are GTDers looking for greater accountability to setting aside time to perform our Weekly Reviews. This is a weekly event where you can join other GTDers who are doing their Weekly Reviews.

Also, check out this episode of ProductivityCast, Episode 045, "Weekly Review: Getting Things Done (GTD)," via https://productivitycast.net/045 or your favorite podcast app!

* * * As of March 18, 2022, we have implemented additional 🛡️ security to keep the spammers/bots out of the WRAP. * * *

Please note the following:
1️⃣) Any old WRAP links are now ⛔ void. The new WRAP Zoom link is only accessible from within GTD Weekly Review Accountability Party events (see this 🎥 video: https://vimeo.com/689262090/007ba50043).

2️⃣) You must join Personal Productivity Club's GTD Café (https://www.personalproductivity.club/share/Y-sL9x4h5bvbRtIB?utm_source=manual) and have a Zoom.us account (so make sure to sign up for a free Zoom.us account-- https://zoom.us/signup --only if you don't already have one).

3️⃣) You must be logged into that Zoom.us account when you click on that "Zoom" or "Meeting Link" link. So, before going to the GTD Weekly Review Accountability Party event page, go to https://zoom.us and log in, then click on the "Meeting Link" to join the WRAP.

Apologies for all this, but we want to make sure WRAP's are a time when you can have relaxed focus to get your Weekly Reviews done. Please message the Organizer if you have any questions.

WRAP Rules

1. Show up at the time of the Weekly Review Accountability Party (WRAP). We use Zoom, a video meeting software, to host this WRAP; you need to use the link provided inside Personal Productivity Club (see above), then download and install Zoom to connect with the group...it's free for you to do so.
2. Start your video, say hello to the group, mix and mingle before we all get started.

I suggest, if you haven't done so before, complete the GTD-Q to know where you are at: https://gettingthingsdone.com/gtd-q/. (I do this before every Weekly Review to help me track how well my system is keeping me in the C&C quadrant. You may not wish to do this weekly; that's OK.)

I will walk any newbies through a quick introduction of the Weekly Review if needed (please message me when you join the WRAP Zoom meeting link to let me know if this is your first time), we'll introduce ourselves briefly, and then I'll mute everyone's microphones.

Start your Weekly Review. Stay on video for accountability, as you are able.

We allot two hours for the event, but some will do their Weekly Review in more time, some in less time. If we get to two hours and you're still working on your Weekly Review, that's fine. The host will end the Zoom, but you should keep going to complete yours, or find a time later in the the day or over the weekend to finish!

That's a WRAP!

Join us for GTD Café on December 8, 2025, as we tackle one of the most pivotal moments in your Getting Things Done practice—deciding what to do with what you’ve captured. During this session, we’ll walk through how to determine what’s actionable (and what’s not) when something lands in your in-tray. If you've ever felt stuck staring at a pile of notes, emails, or random thoughts, unsure what to do next, this discussion is for you. We’ll help you build confidence and speed in clarifying incoming items so your system flows.

🎄🕎 SPECIAL NOTE: Immediately following this session, all attendees are warmly invited to stay for Personal Productivity Club’s community-wide virtual holiday party! We’ll wrap up our productivity session and roll right into some well-earned festive fun. Come for the GTD, stay for the celebration!

IMPORTANT: All GTD Café virtual meetups happen inside Personal Productivity Club. Please join Personal Productivity Club/GTD Café (https://www.personalproductivity.club/share/Y-sL9x4h5bvbRtIB?utm_source=manual) and you can RSVP to the event there and access the meeting link!

Please log in a few minutes early to get your audio/video working, mix-and-mingle, and complete the Challenges Forum signup form so we can start promptly.

0. Joining the Virtual Meeting Room & Mix-and-Mingle (5:45 PM - 6:00 PM ET)

I. Introductions + Challenges Forum (~6:05 PM ET)

https://forms.gle/4Eg73yoKmig75Qqf6

II. GTD|REFRESH: Determining the Actionability in Your In-Tray
In this GTD|REFRESH session, we’ll focus on the second step of the GTD workflow—Clarify. Specifically, we’ll walk through how to determine whether each item in your in-tray is actionable, and if so, what to do about it. This is where confusion often creeps in—but it’s also where you create the greatest clarity.
We’ll cover:

• The key question: “Is it actionable?” and how to use it as your first filter
• The two-minute rule and how it accelerates decision-making
• Distinguishing between reference, trash, and incubation items
• How to identify the next action and the desired outcome
• Common sticking points—like vague inputs or multitask items—and how to break them down

Bring a few items from your own in-tray if you'd like to practice, or just listen and take notes!
Also, bring your copy of Getting Things Done (https://amzn.to/3c8jKNA) by David Allen to reference.

III. GTD Resource Sharing (7:20 PM ET)
Share a book, article, tool, or tip that’s helped your productivity or GTD practice.

IV. Announcements / Closing Remarks (7:25 PM ET)
Then stick around for our virtual holiday party starting right after! 🎄🎁✨
