Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen

challenging hopeful informative medium-paced

4.5

“The world is too unpredictable these days to permit assumptions about outcomes: we need to take responsibility for moving things to clarity.”

I’ve heard about this book for a while now! I think this system and process would be super helpful for me and how my mind works. I read through the book first before attempting to start this in my own life. So pieces of this book can get very in-the-weeds so that you have an in-depth explanation of setting things up. 

David Allen doesn’t just leave you in administrative-details land though. He gives so many inspiring pieces that help you see how freeing up your mind in this way actually frees up so much in your personal life, your mission, your values. I’m keeping this book on the shelf for future reference and will be trying this out for myself.
