Productivity is not just about doing more work faster. While AI can generate ideas, summarise information, organise tasks, and reduce manual effort, the article explains that its value depends on whether people have a clear system for directing that energy towards what matters.
This article shows how AI can support the five principles of Getting Things Done®: Capture, Clarify, Organise, Reflect, and Engage. AI can help turn messy notes into task lists, identify next actions from meeting transcripts, organise work by priority and deadline, summarise overdue and upcoming tasks, and suggest what to tackle next based on time, energy, and context.
For leaders and teams, the message is clear: AI can improve productivity, but it cannot decide what matters. When paired with GTD, AI can reduce the noise, streamline workflows, and help people spend more time on the work that requires human judgment, creativity, and focus.
