Synopsis

The companion to the blockbuster bestseller, Getting Things Done.

Since its publication in 2001, Getting Things Done has become, as Time magazine put it, "the defining self-help business book" of the decade. Having inspired millions of readers around the world, it clearly spoke to an urgent need in an increasingly time-pressured society. Now, in the highly anticipated sequel Making It All Work, Allen unlocks the full power of his methods across the entire span of life and work. While Getting Things Done functioned as an essential tool kit, Making It All Work is an invaluable road map, providing both bearings to help you determine where you are in life and directions on how to get to where you want to go.

From AudioFile:

In today's crackberry-driven multitasking world, it's reassuring to hear David Allen's tempered voice and positive attitude--especially when you know that this is the man whose 2001 time-management book, GETTING THINGS DONE (GTD), caused millions to organize their in-boxes and adopt the mantra "Do it, Delegate it, or Defer it." Now Allen has returned with MAKING IT ALL WORK, a road map for implementing the GTD principles (along with an enhanced disc containing workbook materials). The new book is built around detailed self-analysis, planning models, and trigger lists. It's denser and much less friendly than GTD, but more rewarding. Allen reads his new book in a calm and convincing tone. Now, if only there were an abridged version for those of us who just don't have the time! R.W.S. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
