Disappointing follow up to GTD
  • Rated 2 stars
Reviewed by an Amazon user, January 13, 2007
I am a loyal follower of Getting Things Done (GTD) and have been using the system for almost 3 years. That being said, I was dissapointed in this book in that it is too "spiritual" and "mindful" at least for me. Most people that I know that use GTD are more process driven type people and do not really want to read about the "fluffy" stuff because most of it is common sense. The hard part is coming up with a system like GTD to actually have a framework with which to process information. Therefore, I highly recommend Mr. Allen's first book "Getting Things Done" if you are having trouble keeping up with the inflow of information we receive in this modern age.

Book Getting Things Done is the must to start practicing GTD.
Ready for Anything is like fresh air and energy for revival of all the enthusiasm you have got when started with GTD. It will help you running for whole life victory (at least in area of managing activities, but what more you want to "do").
