This book is a classic in the self help genre. I have always heard a lot about it and it’s always talked about about as having a really interesting productivity system couched in really silly business jargon. The examples are like “when you go buy your second yacht, this system will help you do it quicker. “ yeah it’s kind of written for like CEOs, but the principles of getting yourself organized and keeping track of all the projects in your life really engaged me. This books probably needs a refresh with 30% less fluff, more widely relatable examples, and less jargon. But if you can get past that, it’s actually a surprisingly good piece of personal philosophy hidden behind a Businessy McBusiness airport kiosk exterior.

First time readers: skip to part two for the actual “how to” - then go back for all the meta on tasks and visions.
Good ideas for processing a lot of to-do items. Requires a lot of effort to get the system set up, but it looks easy once it becomes a habit.
I'm not busy enough to need a system this structured, but I can see how it can help some people.

Some good hints for an efficient daily/weekly workflow. I've adopted some things and they're helpful almost daily.
the book is the main reference for every productivity guru per se, and I see why!
the book i read has been updated and edited to fit into our technologically dominant world, but in a general fashion that would make it work for years after.
it is the book where the very famous 2-minute rule came from, and there are other tips that follow suit!
in my opinion, this book holds many small changes and ideas that if incorporated into your daily life would definitely make it more efficient.
it is also good for people who are looking to organize their desks/home/work, get more done, with less stress, by also aiming to free your mind, and do things faster, more efficient so you enjoy time doing the thing you enjoy!
the nature or the way this book was organized was to read it once yes, of course, but also to refer to specific sections over the years whenever you feel the need to update and enhance your workflow!
tons of small methods and tips, that seem obvious once you hear them, but in reality, need the practice to make it a habit that you follow.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to be read in the fashion that I have just mentioned.

Very useful and I have implemented much of the system already. I have maintained inbox zero for a few weeks and adjusted my existing Trello boards to align to the GTD system. I keep bringing it up with colleagues who I think would benefit from it. Worth reading the whole book not just the quick guides. The 2015 edition mostly stands up to 2023 technology and media.
