“If you haven't given much (or any) thought to the basics of organization or goal-setting, this is an excellent and broad overview. However, when it comes to actually implementing the specifics of a system, GTD falls far short. I'm an efficiency consultant and constantly field very basic questions from clients familiar with Allen's system as to the "correct" or "right" way of implementing the system, when Allen himself provides no such insight. GTD is designed for broad appeal and less for actual effectiveness on a daily basis.”

“As one well accustomed to self-help literature, I cannot say that this book was too terribly helpful to me or changed my life in any significant way, but I can see and appreciate how it could for someone who has not read as much about personal organization as myself. A pretty quick read, it's not a masterpiece by any means but could be a good introduction into self-organization for beginners.”

“The concepts in the book are great. The problem I find is that it requires a hell of a learning curve, effort and will to implement. If people are so determined to try something, they are probably productive already. This is not for someone who is having attention problems or apathy. Here's a blog post that takes a rather different view on productivity, which is the opposite of what the book does: http://zenhabits.net/2009/06/the-most-powerful-way-to-get-unstuck/. I think the truth is somewhere in between.”

“This book sorely needs to be updated for the age of computers and the Internet. Concepts are exclellent, but requires transcribing paper to keyboard. ”
