HELENA â Approximately 230 young adults from across the nation are departing for their second round of service with AmeriCorpsâ National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). These teams have piled into vans and deployed across the country to âGet Things Done for Americaâ during the pandemic.
In a press release, the NCCC says the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated communities across the nation and that the pandemic has contributed to rising food insecurity and increased homelessness due to a lack of affordable housing and the ability to make ends meet.
What is GTD?
Getting Things Done (commonly abbreviated as GTD) is an action management method of The David Allen Company, and the title of the book by David Allen which describes the method. Both Getting Things Done and GTD are registered trademarks of the David Allen Company.
GTD rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks. What distinguishes GTD from other time- or action-management systems is the idea of grouping tasks by the context (defined as a place or set of available resources) in which they are to be performed.
