Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen
5.0
--a terrifying whirlwind that organizes your office. Or if you prefer, "the Konmari method for calendar nerds."
The basic idea is that you are besieged by thoughts when you fail to "capture" them in a system that you trust to deal with them. The voice in your head saying "buy bananas" won't shut up until you write "buy bananas" on your shopping list. But exactly what should that list look like? How you should use it? How does it connect with other organizational systems you have running?
This book is very dense. I listened to Getting Things Done as an audiobook and the mood it put me in ranged from "frenetic" to "frantic." I'm going to have to order the physical book and read through it slowly because there's so much here. I'm looking forward to it.
