Filing Done Right
My husband recommended this book to me after it changed the way he "got things done." It is an easy read, but I found it was a better book for him than for me. It is mostly about how to better organize your lists and to actually DO the things on them. I am not much of a list-maker, so it did not help me as much. The one thing I did take away from this book is that it is okay, even encouraged, to put one piece of paper in a file folder. David Allen says to file your reference material alphabetically and close by so you can easily access it when you need it. This has been a life-saving change for me. Now I can find exactly what I need in a matter of seconds.

A personal management system much needed
I've read these kind of personal coaching books a lot, and usually begin with a detailed or even emotional description trying to address where the problem is and why this book could solve it, GTD(Getting Things Done) is no exception. The difference is , never before this problem elaboration had generate so much consent in me. The ever changing pace of the corporate life in this Information age did make us less efficient and in peace, if we still use old school self-management system. So in 'Getting things done' , the author explored the root reason why people feel stressed and how to build a personal system so everything could be recorded on paper and off our minds. Brilliant system, brilliant book!

Great book, great system!
Great book, great system, practical and useful. I ordered the book after hearing the book on tape because seeing the written words is helpful in implementation. This is a practical system and it is flexible enough to use with any organizational tools that you use. Whether you want to use a daytimer and a paper calendar or a slick software package, this book and the system that it teaches will help you get more done. I disagree with some reviewers that have said it is the same old stuff re-packaged. It has several specific things that make it more relevant and more useful than other time management books (it is much more than a time management book) to which it might be compared. The idea of contexts is relevant to getting work completed and I have never seen that idea explained in the past. It is obvious that David has worked with a wide range of people and while the specific examples may sound like name dropping, I believe these examples serve to effectively illustrate the points being made. Real life examples are an effective way to explain things and if you just happen to have worked with famous people then so what!Read full review

Sound advice on how to run everything in your life...
Words like "groundbreaking," "landmark," and "revolutionary" don't normally apply to self-help books, but of all the books that could be classified as self-help manuals, this is one of the three I would recommend to nearly anyone. Here David Allen lays out a complete, concise schematic of a productivity system that puts everything in the right place. Any of the principles in GTD will work to some degree in isolation, but what this book does is organize them into a wholistic system for what Allen calls "self-management." Do you have a dozen things on your mind, like "get cat food" or "talk to Bob about the mail room situation," that you need to do but can't do at the moment? GTD (the popular acronym for "Getting Things Done") provides a guide for how to get all those to-do items out of your conscious and into a place where you'll still have them when you need them. Allen has said of his book that it requires several reads to fully understand, but understanding it is worth all the trouble and more. The reward is organization coupled with flexibility, as well as the ability to maintain them over time.Read full review
