GTD guides: Apple Reminders, Microsoft To Do, Obsidian, Notion, Telegram, VS Code, IntelliJ, Chrome, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and Grok.
The Inbox is the first step of Getting Things Done: one place for every task, idea and worry, sorted later. What belongs in it, how the daily clarify step empties it, and the same Inbox on the web, Android, iPhone, ChatGPT and Claude.
Next Actions is the GTD list you work from: one visible, verb-first step per item, each with a context such as @calls or @errands. What belongs on it, how clarifying the Inbox fills it, the weekly check, and the same list in GTD Brain.
Waiting For is the GTD list for things other people owe you. What belongs on it and what doesn't, how items move there from the Inbox, how the weekly review keeps it from going stale, and how it works in GTD Brain.
A project in Getting Things Done is any result that takes more than one step. How to write one, what stays off the list, how projects come out of the Inbox with a next action, and how the weekly review keeps them moving.
Reference is the GTD list for things you keep but never act on, like manuals, receipts and meeting notes. What belongs in it and what doesn't, how clarifying the Inbox fills it, why you don't review it weekly, and how it works in GTD Brain.
Someday/Maybe is where GTD parks the ideas you aren't ready to commit to. What goes on it and what doesn't, how items get there when you clarify the Inbox, and how to review it each week in the Get Creative step, on the web, iPhone and Android.

Connect Cursor to GTD Brain, a GTD (Getting Things Done) board, from cursor.directory or with three lines of mcp.json, then capture TODO comments, ask for next actions and run the weekly review from the agent chat, with screenshots.
A complete Getting Things Done setup inside IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm and the other JetBrains IDEs, with screenshots: one text file and custom TODO patterns and filters for Inbox, Next Actions by context, Projects, Waiting For and Someday, capture in code comments, a daily clarify and a weekly review, then where a file in one project stops working and the GTD Brain plugin that puts a board in a side panel.
A complete Getting Things Done setup in Obsidian, with screenshots: install the GTD Brain community plugin, sign in with an email code, and run capture, clarify, projects, waiting-for and the weekly review as plain Markdown notes that sync both ways with a board on the web, the phone apps and your AI assistants.
A complete Getting Things Done setup in Notion, with screenshots: duplicate the free GTD Weekly Review template, capture into the Inbox, clarify into Next Actions on a board grouped by context, keep Projects linked to their next actions, run the three-phase weekly review checklist, then where Notion stops asking you questions and how Notion AI, ChatGPT or Claude can run the review with you.
A complete Getting Things Done setup inside Gemini CLI: one folder with a Markdown file per list, a context file that teaches the method, custom slash commands for capture, what-now, a daily clarify and the weekly review, then the point where lists in a folder on one machine stop working and the GTD Brain extension that keeps the terminal workflow on a board your phone and your other assistants share.
A complete Getting Things Done setup in Telegram: Saved Messages as the inbox, one private channel per list in a GTD folder, hashtags as contexts, Waiting For from forwarded messages, a daily clarify and a weekly review, then the point where a chat stops behaving like a list and how a capture bot fixes it, with screenshots.
