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

Book Report: Publishing Strategies, Writing Tips, and 101 Literary Ideas for Aspiring Authors and Poets | Mark Shaw

#bookreport
It was a pretty good reading week for me. I loved both Sea Women and Betray You. Both look at history that is tragic and yet so full of hope. I also did a quick reread of #gtd and had fun with a romance.

#weeklyforecast
I am loving We Are Not Like Them and just started Harlem Shuffle for #lmpbc. After that, this may be the week I get to the Ozeki as the #tob starts up. And then the Moriarty is for #bookclub.

thebluestocking @Cinfhen Thanks, Cindy! I did listen to the audio of Sea Women and was totally enthralled. It‘s tough going at times though (graphic). 3y

Megabooks Excited to read your thoughts in Shuffle when it gets to me! 3y

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.
