GTD® Productivity Assessment

Do you feel like you’re always busy but never quite on top of things? You’re not alone. Most professionals aren’t struggling because they have too much to do. They’re struggling because they don’t have a reliable system to capture, organise, and act on everything competing for their attention.

This free assessment, built on David Allen’s Getting Things Done® (GTD®) methodology, takes less than 2 minutes and reveals exactly where your workflow is breaking down, whether it’s capturing tasks, managing your inbox, or reviewing your priorities. You’ll also get practical tips to fix each gap.

1. I sometimes lose track of things I need to do, because I failed to write them down or record them.

2. When assignments come in, I don't always capture them on paper, on my calendar, or anywhere.

3. I don't always document my To-Dos and tasks, and this causes me to forget that I need to do them.

4. At times, I feel stressed because I know there are things I need to do, but I can't remember what they are.

5. Sometimes I glance at an email, feel a bit overwhelmed, and leave it for later.

6. It's not uncommon for me to revisit an email multiple times because I haven't taken the time to fully decide what to do with it.

7. I often scan through all my emails looking for the ones that seem urgent or important, and leave the others for later.

8. My inbox has become more of a storage bin than a place where things come and are quickly resolved.

9. Sometimes I'm startled by my calendar notifications, because they pop up when I am doing other things.

10. At home, I find myself worrying about the things I need to remember to do the next day at work.

11. I have trouble letting go of To-Dos, because I'm not fully confident I'll remember them or be reminded of them at the right time.

12. I regularly stress over remembering important tasks or events.

13. I often feel as if I'm working really hard, but not getting the important jobs completed.

14. It's common for me to feel overly busy, and yet uneasy about whether I'm getting the right stuff done.

15. I often worry about the priorities I'm not working on, even though I'm putting in a lot of hours and getting a lot done.

16. I'm working as hard as I can, but there are times when I'm troubled that I might not be working on the right priorities.

17. At least once a week, I take time to pause, clear my mind, update my accomplishments, and take stock of where I stand.

18. I regularly review the connection (or lack of connection) between my daily tasks and my high-level priorities.

19. Every few days I step back and evaluate the connection between my actions and my long-term goals.

20. I regularly take time to consider my longer-term goals.

Why Take a GTD Assessment?

Most productivity problems come down to one of three breakdowns: things aren't captured, priorities aren't clear, or reviews aren't happening. This assessment is designed to show you which of these is costing you the most focus, so you're not guessing at fixes that don't apply to you.

What the GTD® Method Actually Solves

Getting Things Done® is a workflow system, not a to-do list app or a productivity hack. It gives you a structured way to capture every task and commitment, clarify what each one actually requires, organise it by priority, and review it regularly so nothing slips through unnoticed. Organisations use it to cut down on missed deadlines, reduce the mental load of "remembering everything," and free up focus for higher-value work.

What Happens After You Complete the Assessment

Your responses are grouped into the core GTD® habits: capturing, clarifying, organising, and reviewing. Based on where your gaps are, you'll get tailored next steps, and if you want a deeper, guided fix, our Getting Things Done® training program walks your team through building the full system.
