GTD
A time management methodology developed by David Allen. Its core principle is to systematically capture and process all open loops, reducing cognitive load by externalizing task storage to improve efficiency and reduce anxiety.

GTD (Getting Things Done) emphasizes emptying all to-dos into an external system and turning them into actionable tasks through "next actions."
The GTD method requires that any material entering the system ultimately correspond to a specific next action that can be determined within two minutes, rather than remaining in a "to be sorted" state.
For users who follow the "out of sight, out of mind" pattern, any system that requires active opening to view (pull-type) is fundamentally mismatched with their cognitive characteristics (which require push-type delivery)
One of the core tenets of the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology is that the brain is not good at storing to-do items and is better suited for thinking than memorizing
GTD holds that all known but uncompleted tasks continuously occupy the brain's working memory, creating a hidden cognitive load
The concept of "Open loops" comes from David Allen's time management methodology GTD (Getting Things Done)
The Inbox Zero theory is heavily influenced by David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology.

The GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology was proposed by David Allen in 2001, with one of its core principles being to empty all thoughts from the mind and record them into a trusted system.
