Finished Book #2 of readathons a few hours ago and forgot to post it. I thought the GTD method the author proposes in this book is very reasonable and should be executable. Maybe I'll try it out starting this next week. #readathon #20in4 #deweysapril @DeweysReadathon @Andrew65

sarahbellum I read this years ago and still utilize two of his ideas, almost automatically now: just take care of the thing if it‘ll take (edited) 3y

Morr_Books @sarahbellum Agree! I think I will also utilize some of his tips on prioritizing tasks. 3y

Andrew65 A great strategy, but i struggled to keep to it. 3y

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity (Revised) | David Allen

I had to wait forever to borrow this book from my local library. Great way to start my reading list for 2022. . Due in 8 days.

I went to a professional training about this methodology about 6 years ago, and have been singing its praises ever since. Yet I somehow never actually got around to reading the accompanying book. Apparently I didn't take it's lessons to heart... That changes now!

ImperfectCJ I liked this one. I don't follow all (or maybe even most) of it, but a few things have been really helpful, especially email inbox organization/management. 3y

Nute I should spend some time with this book. I bet there is a lot of information in it that I could find useful. 3y

Ich schaff das!: Selbstmanagement für den beruflichen und privaten Alltag | David Allen

This one was not for me.
Too much theory and written by someone who I likes the sound of his own voice. š™„
It didn‘t help that half of the things he suggests I am already doing successfully. Speaking of which: If I had all those numerous lists he suggests I would drown. What he takes 3 steps for I‘m doing in 1.

And it confused me how he tried to add new dimensions of meaning to terms like ā€areas of responsibilityā€, ā€projectsā€ and ā€aimsā€¯.

1. Six. Wrapup coming soon!
2. After three calls and an hour or two on the phone, I was able to order replacement contacts. Desperately needed.

The theory in this book is amazing and I can't wait to implement the whole system. I did the email organization and it did help with stress relief.

I only have two slight issues with this book:
1.) It rambles on a little. (I like "how-to" books that are more to the point.)
2.) You should not - under any circumstances - listen to this book while doing anything else. Not being able to do the exercises backfires and stresses you out even worse.
