ABOUT THE BOOK
"I've read this book three or four times around of May-June 2004, and then tried to implement into my work - without any significant success. Most probably this is book for inbox slaves and formal process worshippers, otherwise it might be not for your job-without-formal-description. In worst case trying to follow it took me actually spending _more_ time on things I used to do quicker. Most probably it might be valuable for you, but not for me, and I don't want to take inbox slavery job."

"This book would appeal to people who like to keep their lives organised and are looking for ways to maximize efficiencies. For this demographic, this is a great book. It's a pretty short read and offers very practical solutions.
If you're not one of those people who needs to know where everything is, this book won't convert you."

"It's amazing how much of this book is commonsense yet we still don't do the things that the author purports or follow through with what we know. Somehow, seeing things in print, they way he's written them down, helps a great deal.
This book is for everyone from the Chairman of the Board, to the common housewife, and all those in between. David Allen gives you some great metaphors for life and its problems, and great ways to organize your tasks at hand. The information is actually presented in a fun manner and you'll find those daunting lists of things to do a lot more easy to swallow in time.
The only hesitation I had with the book was the suggest that, instead of sitting around waiting (in an office, for a plane, etc) that we whip out our cell phones and make the calls we need to. While productive, I personally don't opt for this route. There's a little too much of that going on anyway. Other than that, a great book to help you get organized."

"This book could also be titled "The quintaessence of time management".
Im usually very skeptical of self help books, but I trusted the person who recommended it to me. If you read it carefully, it explains to you the root cause of procrastination and how to fight it. Particularly the "two minute rule" changed the way I do things. Now I have my room clean most of the time.
The book is not perfect. I think its filled with many unnecessary content, but I found this book so useful and inspiring that its a minor detail for me. You can really feel the author's enthusiasm about his mission of changing the readers life.
Give it a shot. The time and money youll invest in this book youll likely get recovered soon.
