Author: David AllenSince it was first published almost fifteen years ago, this book has become one of the most influential business books of its era, and the ultimate book on personal organization. "Getting things done" is now shorthand for an entire way of approaching professional and personal tasks, and has spawned an entire culture of websites, organizational tools, seminars, and offshoots. Allen has rewritten the book from start to finish, tweaking his classic text with important perspectives on the new workplace, and adding material that will make the book fresh and relevant for years to come. This new edition will be welcomed not only by its hundreds of thousands of existing fans but also by a whole new generation eager to adopt its proven principles. The premise of this book 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 results and unleash our creative potential. From the core principles to proven tricks this book will teach you to: Apply the “do it, delegate it, defer it, drop it” rule to get your in-box empty; Reassess goals and stay focused in changing situations; Plan and unstick projects; Overcome feelings of confusion, anxiety, and being overwhelmed; and Feel fine about what you’re not doing.Read this book in the Business Studio
