BOOK CATALOGS ARE full of listings for volumes that offer advice on how to improve your work habits, your health, your productivity, and your overall success in life. Some of what they say is typically dressed-up common sense. A fraction of it is baloney.
Much of it is worth reading one time, if that, and is forgettable hours or days after you have put the book down. This book is different. It has sold steadily, in large numbers, since its first appearance, and the audience for David Allen’s programs and philosophies has grown in size and international reach.
Speaking for myself, I can say that this is a book I read carefully when the original version came out, that I have revisited every year or two since then, and that I was very glad to learn it was coming out in the updated and revised version you are reading now.
What makes Getting Things Done different? In ascending order of importance, I would list these three qualities, each evident in nearly every chapter. One is its practicality, by which I really mean its modular and forgiving approach.
Many self-improvement schemes work from an all-or-nothing, “everything must be different, starting tomorrow” premise. If you want to lose forty pounds, take control of your financial destiny, straighten out your family, or have the career of your dreams, you have to embrace a radical top-to-bottom change in every aspect of your life.
