Getting Things Done by David Allen

by Josh Kaufman

You probably have a lot to do right now. How do you keep track of all of your responsibilities and commitments without going insane? Getting Things Done is a complete system of work habits that will allow you to capture, organize, and track everything that’s on your mind, resulting in a clear, calm view of the next actions needed to keep your projects moving.

Getting Things Done is a distillation of David Allen’s decades of experience working with busy corporate executives. Instead of starting with high-level principles, GTD begins with “collecting” everything on your mind, then organizing your thoughts in a system designed to help you focus on what’s most important at any given moment.

In this book, you’ll learn how to set up a productive workspace, capture random thoughts and ideas, maintain a useful filing system, and track your progress towards your goals.

Getting Things Done is a system of habits, and as such, it takes a while to fully understand and adopt. Don’t be discouraged: if you want to take your personal productivity to the next level, Getting Things Done is the best place to start.
