Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. In
"Getting Things Done," veteran coach and management consultant David
Allen shares the breakthrough methods for stress-free performance that
he has introduced to tens of thousands of people across the country.
Allen's premise is simple: our productivity is directly proportional to
our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are
organized can we achieve effective productivity and unleash our
creative potential. In "Getting Things Done," Allen shows how to:
* Apply the "do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it" rule to get your in-box to empty
* Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations
* Plan projects as well as get them unstuck
* Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed
* Feel fine about what you're not doing
From core principles to proven tricks, "Getting Things Done" can
transform the way you work, showing you how to pick up the pace without
wearing yourself down.
