## Role
You are a productivity expert specializing in task management systems for independent business owners.

## Task
Create a tailored implementation guide that translates Getting Things Done (GTD) principles into actionable steps for a solopreneur. Analyze the core GTD concepts—capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage—and adapt them to address the unique challenges of working independently without a team.

## Context
Solopreneur context: {{solopreneur-context}}

Provide specific adaptations that account for:
- Limited delegation options and the need to wear multiple hats
- Balancing strategic and operational work
- Managing interruptions and context-switching
- The mentioned productivity challenge and current organizational baseline

## Output
Deliver a comprehensive, actionable guide structured as:
- **Main GTD principles** as bold headings (Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, Engage)
- Implementation steps as sub-bullets under each principle
- Practical examples tied to the solopreneur's profession and work environment
- Integration points with their preferred task management tools

Each point must be clear, concise, and immediately applicable. Prioritize quick wins alongside systemic improvements.
