Simplistic treatment
“I found this book a bit simplistic which may be okay if you've never previously done critical thinking about your personal methods of how you "get things done". If you're looking for challenging or advanced thoughts on the subject or any insight on how to handle very complicated matters, I'd look at other books. I don't have any direct recommendations but I know I'll be looking for books which definitely have more complex insights into topics such as this. ”

Read This Book Every January for 5 Years and Use It
“Time management, task management, organization. They are all one and the same. Allen provides principles, examples and insights to help the reader define and implement their own system to improve their effectiveness in managing their own input-porcessing-output scheme. Like the very basics of process engineering and self-controlled systems, this book has no magic bullets or deep insights. The basics of time management are very basic. The trick, as usual, is to create disciplined habits that incorporate the principles. Find an accountability partner. Sign a contract for them to review your progress and provide advice. Give this book a 6 month try. Give it another 6 month try. You'll be hooked. I have used this book in courses and found that ANYONE who wants to greatly improve their skills can use it. In the Outlook/Lotus Notes/CRM intensive world of high volume communications, everyone needs a structure that they can manage. This provides the framework. I also recommend Michael Linenberger's Total Workday Control Using MS Outlook, but only for those who are inherently focused and disciplined.”

"Sense of relaxed control" is RIGHT!!! A MUST HAVE for anyone who has so much to do I don't know where to begin.
“If you've been told by your superior to "Just get it done" and your original job description ( if you even began with one) has blurred to the point of confusion and frustration. If you are using Franklin Covey to "Prioritize your day" and set goals, but you just can't get your boots unstuck from the things that HAVE to get done, and are playing arodeo switching from hat to hat as you try to see over your tasks to a BIGGER PICTURE....

This book is for you! It's about getting hold and understanding and putting to use how your brain ALREADY works and making that work for you. Read the book slowly and carefully,.... Perservere, some of the language is slightly deep, but required. The payoff is worth it. ” -
Required Reading!
“I teach Outlook 2007 at my organization. Every student gets a copy of this book and it is required reading. Our final 2-hour session is completely focused on the principles of GTD. We call it an implementation workshop.
