because i get NOTHING done... well that's not entirely true, but you know what i mean...this seems obvious. i doesn't make me create a whole new way of doing things; just improves and refines and clarifies what i do now. sooooo much better than setting my desk on fire, but then again not as much fun. thanks elna!

This is one of the few time management/personal productivity books I've ever read that's actually made sense. In this case, David Allen was able to explain why my to do list was getting longer by the day, my brain was feeling more and more overwhelmed, and my email in-box was about to implode. (Actually, it did implode a few times, but I'll leave that story for another day.)

In a nutshell, Allen's book maps out a simple strategy for "getting things done" that involves getting those "to dos" out of your head and on to a series of "action" lists. Of course, you have to work the system. No system is maintenance-free.

There are a growing number of Internet websites devoted to the ideas contained in this compelling and idea-filled book -- e.g., DIYPlanner.com, 43folders.com, and LifeHacks.com. If you decide to give Allen's system a go, you'll find plenty of online support and inspiration.

David Allen goes way beyond time saving strategies. He reveals why you procrastinate and reframes your thinking about priorities. Not only can I get more done in a day, it's actually easier to do because of the techniques I learned from this book. Highly recommend. (via Amazon)

I realy like this book. Particularily, because I`m french, there was good info. It seems there is never much good information on time management or gestion du temps. i have had to read all books in english. The only good site i find in french for <a href=http://www.formation-oti.com.>gestion du temps</a> is formation qualitemps. I took the course there and it make reference to this book as a source. It was very helpful. (via ExLibris)

When I first started working as a personal trainer I was amazed at how much of my job involved helping my clients find time to workout. I was constantly having to go over my clients' schedules with them in order to help them with their time management. You know what happened? Sure they were getting more done & had more free time. But I was spending so much time dealing with it that I didn't have time to get my own tasks done. I was now the one in need of time management help.

Now I just simply direct them to this book. They learn time management skills & my schedule doesn't get bogged down and my productivity doesn't diminish.

I've read tons of books on time management. There are only two words to describe this one: THE BEST.

Perfect for the productivity-obsessed.

Best book to start you on the road to clarity and productivity.
