2.0 out of 5 stars Waffle around GTD, 3 Jul 2009

By	Simon Robinson (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read Getting Things Done: How to Achieve Stress-free Productivity a couple of weeks before reading "Making It All Work". Getting Things Done was excellent and provided a thorough overview of David Allen's process and from that I created my own GTD system in about a week. I was hoping "Making It All Work" would take me to another level however I found most of it to be a rehash of Getting Things Done with a few additional stories. Not a bad book but a number of times whilst reading it I did wonder why I was bothering.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational guide to getting organized, 12 Nov 2008

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Making It All Work: Winning at the Game of Work and Business of Life (Hardcover)

David Allen's bestseller Getting Things Done (GTD) taught readers how to gain "focus, control and perspective." Simply put, this theory taught that if you organize your catalog of commitments and review it systematically, that process will relieve you of the stress and burden of having a chaotic to-do list constantly tugging at your consciousness. This positive self-management approach frees you to tap into your highest capabilities and experience true fulfillment. While the GTD method has attracted an international following, this follow-up doesn't quite bring it to the next level. Although it is coherent, cohesive and accessible, it relies a good bit on repetition and rehashes a lot of the original work, particularly in the first two chapters, where Allen sells the system. However, for followers who can't get enough of GTD, and for those who don't know it yet and hope to get organized, getAbstract recommends Allen's latest read, particularly the chapters where he articulates the five stages of control and the "horizons of focus."

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting it done!!, 1 Mar 2009

By	J. BROGAARD - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a big fan of the GTD this book is a true bible. It simplifies and gives the broad overview og the GTD methodology. Great book.
