GETTING THINGS DONE Paperback – 4 July 2019

Nice book, will recommend all to read

This book is really great. It organizes you , without much trouble. Your confusion to take which task on hand is surely resolved.

1-3 stare reviews i read on amzon before buying this book. I found it was a great book to read at least for me. gave few newer ways to free your mind from all distressing impending issues. great way of tackling, so ultimately it increased efficiency.. read practice...

You've come to read this review after extensively long detailed description about the book. But the book is more. It's the zenith of maintaining productivity and maximising it at all times, at all levels. I have read it once, and some things such as the "2 minute rule" has been inserted in my head. I am going to read it again, and then again. A must read if you are looking for something that boosts your worklife.

If you are someone struggling to cope up the demand of life and end up feeling everyday that you are juggling too many balls at the same time.... you are not alone... this book will help you immensely... the methodologies/tools suggested can be a little dated but the concepts can be very easily adapted to todays digital lifestyle... MUST READ!!!!

A good book that teaches you to organise your work. Allen has turned the entire probable workload of a person in categories that will instruct you about what to do when.This will help you to understand your 'tasks' and decide what can either be done later or delegated.The most impressive is his instruction that one should never write down the little tasks that can be completed in 'two minutes'. He advises us to complete those jobs immediately--this one advice itself will help you reduce stress and confusion, not to mention make youmore productive. One nugget by the writer worth quoting is this: Things rarely get stuck because of lack of time. They get stuck because the doing of them has not been defined.Allen has also presented a wonderful compilation of quotations from great philosophers/successful minds. They come as support to his ideas, boosting readers' confidence in Allen's thoughts. I re-state here one by Aristotle: What lies in our power to do, lies in our power not to do.The book will help those who want to organise all the tasks and projects, or if they want their subordinates to learn the trick of doing so.

This is an awesome book. Very practical and implementable strategy to increase your productivity. I started seeing results even before I could finish the book. Of course it could unsettle you for sometime as it is very hard to let go off lifelong habits. But follow the lead and you will see fruit. Would recommend to anyone who wants to become a better person and a worker.

"If you don't pay attention to what currently has your attention, you will end up paying more attention to it than it deserves!" - Simply brilliant. Some of the nuggets in here on knowledge work are such an eye-opener.
