Making It All Work

Was ist drin?
If the minutiae of life are weighing you down, this organizational system will lift the burden and help you soar.
Recommendation
David Allen’s bestseller Getting Things Done (GTD) taught readers how to gain “focus, control and perspective.” Simply put, this theory taught that if you organize your catalog of commitments and review it systematically, that process will relieve you of the stress and burden of having a chaotic to-do list constantly tugging at your consciousness. This positive self-management approach frees you to tap into your highest capabilities and experience true fulfillment. While the GTD method has attracted an international following, this follow-up doesn’t quite bring it to the next level. Although it is coherent, cohesive and accessible, it relies a good bit on repetition and rehashes a lot of the original work, particularly in the first two chapters, where Allen sells the system. However, for followers who can’t get enough of GTD, and for those who don’t know it yet and hope to get organized, getAbstract recommends Allen’s latest read, particularly the chapters where he articulates the five stages of control and the “horizons of focus.”
