Best GTD for Entrepreneurs

What GTD actually asks of you

Get every commitment out of your head and into one trusted inbox, then decide the very next physical action for each.

Lists are organized by the verb — call, draft, review — never by topic. The non-negotiable part is the review: without it the lists rot into noise within two weeks.

How entrepreneurs put it to work

1. 1

   A signal log, not a pile of screenshots

   Customer problems, competitor moves, pricing ideas — captured in one place with where they came from. The pattern across a quarter of signals is a strategy; a pile of screenshots is anxiety.

2. 2

   Decisions with their evidence attached

   Hiring, pricing, pivoting — the call is captured with what was known at the time. When the numbers question the decision later, you can tell whether the reasoning was wrong or just the luck.

3. 3

   The week, honestly reviewed

   What moved, what stalled, what you avoided — captured weekly and re-read monthly. A founder's memory of a quarter is always rosier than the record of it.

The capture habit, the linking, and the retrieval are the parts tentus automates — gtd without the daily upkeep.
