About the book

In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In Getting Things Done, veteran coach and management consultant David Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country. Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our creative potential. In Getting Things Done Allen shows how to:

* Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box to empty
* Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
* Plan projects as well as get them unstuck
* Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
* Feel fine about what you're not doing

From core principles to proven tricks, Getting Things Done can transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without wearing yourself down.

    Lesenswert vo der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Das Buch gibt Einblick wie man sein Leben grundsätzlich gestalten kann um stressfrei zu leben.

    Ich habe Getting Things Done auf Arbeit eingeführt und fühle mich schon besser damit. Die noch anstehende Produktivitässteigerung wird mir die kommenden Arbeitsjahre wesentlich erleichtern.

    Das Standardwerk zum Selbstmanagement. David Allen zeigt ein pragmatisches System, um den Alltag zu organisieren: Alle Aufgaben und Ideen werden erfasst, sortiert und in einen verlässlichen Workflow überführt. Statt im Kopf herumzuspuken, landen offene Punkte in einem strukturierten Prozess – von der langfristigen Planung bis zur nächsten konkreten Handlung. Das Ergebnis ist mehr Klarheit, weniger Stress und nachhaltig mehr Produktivität.

    I really liked the approach of Mr. Allen and how you can implement it in your daily (work) life. I also implemented some of his suggestions myself. However, I personally think the book could have been much shorter and more precise, focusing only on the GTD-method and skipping all the not really necessary long explanation around it. Short and more precise explanation will do the same and keeping the quality of the book and the method.
