I found a great deal of value in [David Allen's] book. He has put enormous time and thought into understanding what makes us productive and what generates stress. So much of his approach rang true to my personal experience. (MANAGEMENT TODAY )

2.0 out of 5 stars Waffle around GTD 3 July 2009
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great practical Guide 4 Aug 2009
By Nick B
Format:Paperback
There is a useful rehash of some of the material in Getting Things Done, but Making it All Work is much easier to apply in practice.

As promised in the blurb I did find new strategies I have been able to use to improve the way I work and to apply the principles of Getting Things Done.

If the GTD system is new to you this is also a reasonable introduction to the principles before showing how they can be applied.

5.0 out of 5 stars I embarrass myself with praise for this
Yes, if you have read GTD then you don't absolutely need to read this. There is a little bit more of the 'why' in this one, and slightly less of the 'how', but they both cover the... Read more
