This new edition of Getting Things Done will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles.

Ratings and reviews

Very dry and boring to listen to. Sometimes he just reads lists with like 20 items or more in them. Also kind of outdated. Paper lists and notes could easily be replaced with a digital solution, but he specifically says that it HAS to be on paper.

I love it! This book and content have been a massive help in my life.

one of the most popular and read book. very helpful.
