In today's world of exponentially increased communication and responsibility, yesterday's methods for staying on top just don't work. Veteran management consultant and trainer David Allen recognizes that "time management" is useless the minute your schedule is interrupted; "setting priorities" isn't relevant when your email is down; "procrastination solutions" won't help if your goals aren't clear. Allen's premise is simple: our ability to be productive is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve stress-free productivity and unleash our creative potential. He teaches us how to: Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box empty
Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
Feel fine about what you're not doing
From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done has the potential to transform the way you work -- and the way you experience work. At any level of implementation, David Allen's entertaining and thought-provoking advice shows you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.

Summary: Great concepts, a bit wordy
Comment: The book has some very practical advice on organizing tasks and small projects. It adheres to some principals that seem to work well, especially in reducing stress caused from not being organized.
I found the book a bit wordy in spots and slightly difficult to understand on a first read. I had to read several sections twice to get the full meaning.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: This has been a great resource to get organized both at home and at work. This is definitely the best book I have read on this subject and would recommend it to anyone who is "stuck" and overwhelmed wtih paperwork and piles. With 4 kids and a small business it has worked wonders for me.

Summary: Masterful Workflow Advice for the Busy Professional
Comment: I was first exposed to 'Getting Things Done' (GTD) a few years back in an article about prolific modern knowledge workers and how they thrive amidst a frantic, constant information flow. The very best manage thousands of demands for attention each and every week (emails, voicemails, meetings, etc.) while completing a steady stream of projects both large and small. David Allen's 'Getting Things Done' presents a framework for doing just that while also achieving a sense of personal calm and heightened creativity. I've returned to this book many times over the years to tweak my own GTD implementation and David Allen never fails to inspire. Highly recommended.

Summary: How To Eat Many Elephants 101
Comment: This book teaches you how to free your mind of clutter, so that you can operate at your absolute best, to get many things done: from climbing the corporate ladder to running a business, to efficiently managing a family. It is a revolutionary approach which helps you clarify what needs to be done about anything, at any moment. This book shows you that no matter what needs to be accomplished, you get it done by breaking it down to one, two, three, and four etc. actionable tasks (the very next thing or things you will do) to get it done.
This is how I would sum the book up... How do you eat many elephants? You put them in a big box (labeling each elephant A-Z:), then eat it One Next bite at a time.
Why the book you say if the concept can be summed so simply...
The book will show...
How you have always been attempting to eat elephants in some fashion,
how you inefficiently think about the elephants (7 Habits of...),
how you can efficiently think about the elephants,
how to COLLECT and put many elephants in the box,
how to PROCESS the elephants (to eat or not to eat, that is the question),
ORGANIZE the elephants (legs with legs, trunks with trunks etc.),
How to REVIEW your eating progress (ok I've eaten lots of legs and trunks [which elephants are completely eaten], how many more - O no here comes another 50 elephants I've just agreed to eat, time to COLLECT, PROCESS, ORGANIZE, then REVIEW all over again. The saga continues...)
Think I've said too much and now you think you don't need the book guess again! The book is chalk full of ins and outs to effectively set this set of skills to work for you. The Getting Things Done method is simple enough that my ten year old son follows it, yet robust enough that CEOs run enterprises with the same concept.
