branev 's review for:
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen
After reading the book I would say that it surprised me pleasantly, as it does not give you a direct solution but more like guidance of how to find it yourself. There are some major principles that are being reviewed and then some examples are given, but from that point on - it's the reader that has to develop a system that works for him.
A lot of the discussed methods I already had in use, but the book helped me organize these and hopefully increase my performance. Surely the 2-min rule is a new thing that I implement already (with really good results btw).
And here comes a quotation of a footnote in the book, that can summarize the whole idea of "why should I read this":
"Of course, the people that are most attracted to implementing Getting Thing Done are usually already on a self-development track and don't assume that they'll be doing the same thing a year from now that they are doing now, anyway. But they love the fact that this method gets them there faster and more easily."
