Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

About this audiobook

David Allen reads an all-new edition of his popular self-help classic for managing work-life balance in the twenty-first century-now updated for the new challenges facing individuals and organizations in today's rapidly changing world.

Since it was first published more than 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 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.

    I came up with most of these tips on my own, BUT they are extremely well presented and as far as I am concerned the GTD method is the best way to keep yourself organized and stress-free that has thus far been elucidated.I think that people who are not naturally organized (and let's face it: who is) will appreciate the way that Allen gives simple steps, with a limited variety of options to choose from, to organize your life.Personally, my "slightly modified GTD method" involves Google calendars (for my schedule) and post-its in three places (on my computer OR in the folder I carry with me during the work day OR in a "holding area" on the back of my desk).
