Allen, David. Getting Things Done, The Art of Stressfree Productivity

The minute Amazon.com alerted me to this book (pretty much the day it came out) and I saw the title, I bought it – and that was YEARS ago. I was ready for it and it has made a huge difference for me. It’s not a primer on time & paper management, but is more for the person who has some systems working and is ready for something more. I have listened to his seminars on tape as well and while his delivery can be somewhat irritating to some people (and I’m sure people say that about me, too), his content is powerful. You may want to sign up for his electronic newsletter www.gettingthingsdone.com. There are myriad tips and reinforcements that he and his consultants provide each time the e-zine comes out.

David Allen has become an icon of sorts because of his GTD terminology…and he has a huge fan base. I’m in that group, too.
