David Allen’s Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress Free Productivity is ‘USEFUL’. Reading this audiobook was worth
the time and energy expended in listening to it. The basic idea is that multi-tasking as we know is, is myth. It more efficient to free ones brain up for more rewarding tasks like, the doing of tasks, than the remembering of those tasks. Makes sense. This is timely idea for the attention economy and knowledge workers. I enjoyed the discussions on open loops, ~2 minute rule, planning.
I enjoyed listening to texts so much Iwould have to grab the hard copy soon. I recommend GTD to anyone who remotely feels like they do not have enough hours in a day to fulfil their personal and professional obligation.
