Changes to Ready for Anything: 52 Productivity Principles... by David Allen

Having never read '"Getting Things Done", this book covered the topic of how to get organized. Being a great fan of quotations, this book's extensive use of quotations made me take it to the cash register. The approach of using short essays to convey each of the 52 productivity principles made it an easy ready in an ever-hectic schedule. This book along with free online software (http://www.vitalist.com) may finally make getting organized easier than before. Recommend this to anyone.

In his bestselling first book, Getting Things Done , veteran coach and management consultant David Allen presented his breakthrough methods to increase efficiency. Now "the personal productivity guru" ( Fast Company ) shows readers how to increase their ability to work better, not harder—every day. Based on Allen’s highly popular e-newsletter, Ready for Anything offers readers 52 ways to immediately clear your head for creativity, focus your attention, create structures that work, and take action to get things moving. With wit, inspiration, and know-how, Allen shows readers how to make things happen—with less effort and stress, and lots more energy, creativity, and effectiveness. Ready for Anything is the perfect book for anyone wanting to work and live at his or her very best.

Completion of open loops, whether they be major projects or boxes of old stuff we've yet to purge and organize, prepares the ground for cleaner, clearer, and more complete energy for whatever shows up.
