|
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.</p> |

<p>As a method, GTD is damn obvious to follow: Write things down so you don't |
|
need to keep thinking that you need to remember something, which would just |
|
lead into a constant need of keeping parts of your brain working on |
|
remembering instead of producing stuff; focus on what you should do next to |
|
complete said things you wrote down; and so on.</p> |
|
<p>Part of the whole I was already following, so learning a few more tricks was |
|
really welcomed.</p> |
|
<p>The problem here is the telling itself.</p> |
|
<p>There are references to PDAs, like it was something not so common. Right now, |
|
almost everyone has a PDA in their pocket, although we call them "smartphones" |
|
instead of PDAs; there are references to "common" binders and rolodexes and |
|
that kind of furniture that, in today's world, is a pretty rare thing and most |
|
of the stuff we deal each day is digital.</p> |
|
<p>There are some topics which are largely just propaganda for the method itself |
|
instead of going straight into it to give people an general idea of how things |
|
work and then going deeper (he does it later, but the very start is boring as |
|
hell).</p> |
|
<p>Also, some final topics are mostly "One of my clients said she couldn't |
|
understand how she lived till this day doing things not GTD" or "I do this |
|
'cause I like it", which although good to know, it's not representative of the |
|
method itself.</p> |
|
<p>So while GTD is a pretty damn good method to keep things organized, the book |
|
that describes this is not well written, IMHO.</p> |
|
<p>Get it for the methodology, and be ready to skip a lot of useless stuff.</p> |
