The Next Web: Holy sheet: How to create a simple to-do list with Google Sheets.

Way too simple for this crowd, and God forbid we should use something we already have. But I didn’t know about the check box option.

LOL.
I’ve been keeping my todo list in an XLS file (first in OpenOffice Calc, now in Planmaker from Softmaker Office Pro) since 2014. Instead of Google Sheets’ checkboxes I use “X”.
It’s a simple list with columns for my different jobs and for private tasks. And at the same time an archive of all my todos and dones from the last 6 years.

The use of a spreadsheet for GTD has been around a long time.

It is perfectly possible to implement GTD in Excel. In fact, I think Excel is a perfect tool for many purposes. Using a combination of built-in Excel formulas and my own custom made VBA code, I have implemented a basic GTD system for myself. It is in fact an ongoing project, but I am using the system successfully every day.
Can be rather detailed or very simple depends on the person of course.

Right, and Excel allows you to fold. I don’t know if Sheets does or not.

Numbers also allows you to fold - although it can be a bit complicated to set up.
