Audio Book Summary

David Allen reads an all-new edition of his popular self-help classic for managing work-life balance in the twenty-first century—now updated for the new challenges facing individuals and organizations in today’s rapidly changing world.

Since it was first published more than fifteen years ago, David Allen’s Getting Things Done has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. “GTD” is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots.

Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace, and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. 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.

    The four words that always make an audio reader break out into a sweat is when he hears the words "read by the author". Sometimes you are wrong, and an author can be a good reader. Often though you realize why writing and narration are two distinct fields. The book was so boring that I couldn't get through the CD's. It's a shame, because it covers a subject with which many of us could stand improvement.

    One of the worst CD books I've ever listened to. So boring that I couldn't even get through the whole thing. It only had information which is common sense. Wasn't helpful.

    Love this book. I'm a young millennial so sometimes it's hard for me to accept the non-electronic tips but at the end of the day - the core advice from this books needs to be followed to be successful. Learn his way first and then decide what to do afterwards instead of nitpicking from the beginning. My home is more organized and my work and study plans are more clear.

    listen at 1.25x speed. the beginning shoulds a little like self-gratulation.... it's unnecessary sales pitchy style for a chapter or something. it makes sense I think. but to really implement it, it really needs to be reread, repeat repeat. reread. it's hard to..... follow? or just really need to get your head around it.

    What an incredible resource. I can see how the methodology would be daunting for some, but it fits in very well with my existing processes, and the \"tips\" alone (such as a 2 minute rule, organizing next actions by context, establishing a \"waiting for\" list, etc) are gold nuggets of wisdom. I was surprised by how much deeper the book went than simple boring organizational theory. It\'s about mindfulness, being present in the moment, and finding clarity from the bottom up. Will definitely listen to it again!

    Getting things done is not as important as simplifying life. I felt like this book was all about getting more done so you can do more which results in a complex less meaningful life. I was bored and didn't finish the book. Maybe the second half is better. Not sure if I will ever find out for myself.
