THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER NOW AVAILABLE IN AN ALL-NEW UNABRIDGED RECORDING!

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 e-mail 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.

What Customers Say About Getting Things Done: The Art Of Stress-Free Productivity:

I'm a stay at home mom and use this system to run the household. Finally, a guide to back to basic organization.

I highly recommend this book as it is life-transforming if you follow the steps so clearly outlined here. Though I have not been very regular with the weekly reviews, whenever I got back on track I was able to get things done. The GTD system that David Allen provides has worked for me. It took me more than 3 months to complete this book because I was following along all the steps that David Allen laid out in his GTD system It has been more than 6 months since I have completed this book and the GTD system that I have put in place has so far worked for me.

It also discusses the mental blockades and why we do the stuff in an inefficient way.I highly recommend it, if you sincerely want to empty your inbox and your mental todo list. This book offers step by step advice to be efficient at work.

David's work actually spawned my career as a time & technology management speaker, trainer, and instructor, and opened up my new passion in effective e-mail management (following David's principles) that led me to writing my own book (and getting a publishing deal) on Taming the E-mail Beast. If you are looking for a way to fundamentally change your relationship with your time, efficiency, productivity, effectiveness, and your task list, you need to get this book. I've been a follower and advocate of David Allen and his philosophies and strategies for nearly 20 years. His work is also the base for many other experts in the field, and this is not a mistake. Taming The Email Beast When he came out with Getting Things Done, he tied all of his strategies together in a way that allows anyone struggling with productivity, efficiency, organization, time management, and life balance in a way few others have dared/succeeded. What differentiates David and GTD from others is that his work is truly substantial -- it isn't the "rah rah" that you so often get when looking through publications on time and life management -- it actually gets down into the nuts & bolts of systems and techniques that truly work.A serious student of time & life management would do very well starting here, diving deeply into this work/information, and then using this as the base for further exploration.

Read this if you want to maximize your time at home and at work.no matter what you do for a living. A fantastic book that really breaks down how to get things done efficiently. No more am I going to do the old "To Do" lists.
