Inspirational guide to getting organized
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...

Waffle around GTD, 3 Jul 2009
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.

Inspirational guide to getting organized, 12 Nov 2008
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."

Getting it done!!, 1 Mar 2009
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.

Getting Things Done on steroids, 13 Feb 2009
This book extends on the ideas presented in Getting Things Done, explains them thoroughly and presents you with new ideas on how to be productive. It's a great addition to your productivity library and if you enjoyed Getting Things Done you'll *really* appreciate all the tips and tricks from this book. Great read, totally recommended.

Hits the spot, 2 Mar 2009
Just what the doctor ordered. A natural successor to "Getting Things Done." If, like me, you were left feeling you had missed something, or weren't doing it right, or needed to know more, this is the book for you. Get it, and Make It All Work.

A great practical Guide, 4 Aug 2009
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.
