GOOD BUT A BIT COMPLEX
Author David Allen states the obvious...we will all be more productive if we are more organized, both in our work and our lives outside of work. Ok, that's not exactly earth-shaking news. It's the actualy getting organized part that leaves most people stumped.
Allen is focused on in-boxes, both literally and figuretively. Our in boxes being not only the things on our desks, but applying to anything task we need to do in our lives no matter how mundane. Allen has what he refers to as the "Two Minute Rule" wherein if there's anything you absolutely must do that you can do right now in two minutes or less, then do it now, thus freeing up your time and mind tenfold over the long term. That makes perfect sense. And that is what this book is in broadest terms: common sense. These are things you probably know but just may no know the best way to organize them.
The book is very "system oriented" with all sorts of clever phrase-ology. These books always are, but Allen provides a simple one page flowchart that you can use as a reference on your desk or maybe even the fridge that you can always refer to without having to consult the book and that flowchart is the most valuable part of the book.
Well done!
