Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, David Allen’s Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. “GTD” is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots. Allen has … offshoots.
Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace, and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. This new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.

One of the most useful productivity books you’ll ever read. Of course you’ll see people complaining about how it doesn’t bring anything new to the table but like most things in life you will get out of it as much as you put in.
An excellent resource for organizing one’s life.
Wow… David Allen definitely knows what he’s talking about, the method I had partially implemented before reading the book, and adopted fully after reading it.

This book revolutionized the way I deal with email and other to do lists.
This is a “method” book for those who think they aren’t sufficiently organized, don’t think they’re accomplishing all they want to accomplish or just want to try a new method or process to up their game. It works. It’s not easy. It takes commitment over the long term. Did I mention it works?
If you have more than one thing you have to do – and who doesn’t, you should read this book. I have owned several editions of this book now and keep a copy with me every where I go. I have even taught a short 1-hour introductory course called integrated personal management leveraging technology to get organized and get things done to 1000s of …
Tons of great tips, tricks and advice.
